Shapley 1: An Annular Planetary Nebula

NASA APOD · Peter Bresseler; Text: Keighley Rockcliffe (NASA GSFC, UMBC CSST, CRESST II)
COSMIC MESSAGE

Shapley 1, also known as the Fine Ring Nebula, is a beautifully symmetric planetary nebula. It is the result of a star, similar in mass to our Sun, shedding its outer layers. Glowing oxygen from those expelled layers forms the circular halo, and the bright central point is a binary system: a white dwarf and a companion star.
