  3. Djaffar a photographié #m57 la #nébuleuse de la #Lyre avec un tube #Skywatcher de 200/800 sur lequel était monté une caméra couleur ASI2600MC avec un filtre L-Extrem. 45 poses de 180s

  4. The #RingNebula (Messier 57)is an elongated planetary nebula, a type of nebula created when a Sun-like star evolves to throw off its outer atmosphere and become a white dwarf star.

    The Ring Nebula is about 2,500 light-years away toward the musical constellation Lyra.

  5. Rings Around the Ring Nebula

    The Ring Nebula (M57) is more complicated than it appears through a small telescope. The easily visible central ring is about one light-year across, but this remarkably deep exposure - a collaborative effort combining data from three different large telescopes - explores the looping filaments of glowing gas extending much farther from the nebula's central star.

  6. DYK that the general public, you and I, have access to JWST images (within days of their release)?!

    And you can download and process them?

    I just colour processed the Ring Nebula, and holy hell, how is this a real image?! 🤯🤯🤯

    Will write a blog on #SpaceAustralia this weekend on how YOU can also do this - super easy and no tech skills required.

  7. Amazing photo of the #RingNebula from #NASA’s #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope!

    "Just like fireworks, different chemical elements in the nebula emit light of specific colors," that does more than produce eye-popping scenes in space; it also lets astronomers study the chemical makeup and evolution behind the spectacle.

    Despite its name, a planetary #Nebula is actually the remains of a sun-like #Star.
