M57: The Ring Nebula from Hubble
The Ring Nebula, M57, in the constellation Lyra, is a famous celestial circle. We now know its iconic shape is due to our perspective on an expanding, donut-like ring of gas. This Hubble image helped map the nebula's three-dimensional structure, showing a relatively dense ring wrapped around the middle of a dying star.
