M57: The Ring Nebula
The Ring Nebula, M57, is a spectacular example of a planetary nebula. It formed when a star, similar in mass to our Sun, shed its outer layers after its core stopped fusing. The ring shape is an illusion; the nebula is actually a spherical shell. At its center is the old core of the star, a white dwarf.
