M57 The Ring Nebula.JPG

this is ring nebula m57 located in the constellation lyra.
this is the egg nebula located 3,000 light years away in the Cygnus nebula.

The image's organization is similar to that of a cat's eye. A bright almost pinpoint white circle in the center depicts the central star. The central star is encapsulated by a purple and red irregularly edged, elliptically shaped area that suggests a three dimensional shell. This is surrounded by a pair of superimposed circular regions of red with yellow and green edges, suggesting another three dimensional shell.
here we have the Cat's eye nebula located in the constellation Draco.


This is the planetary nebula NGC 6326 in the constellation Ara

Spherical shell of colored area against background stars. Intricate cometary-like knots radiate inwards from the edge to about a third of the way to the center. The center half contains brighter spherical shells that overlap each other and have rough edges. Lone central star is visible in the middle. No background stars are visible.
Here we have the Eskimo Nebula located 2,870 light years away in the Gemini Constellation.


This is the Helix nebula located in the constellation Aquiarius. It is ~ 694.7 light years away.
