M57 Ring Nebula in Lyra
The Planetary Nebula M57 is estimated to have exploded 20 000 years ago. The white dwarf in the middle (Magnitude 14) is surrounded by a darker space which is hotter than the visual ring. Since it so hot it does not emmit visual light but ultravioliet radiation. 23oo LY away.
