Most Detailed View Ever of the Ring Nebula

Hey Space Placers!

To follow up on my recent blog on the Ring Nebula, NASA has just released the most detailed view EVER of this beautiful planetary nebula. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) zeroed in for a close-up view and the resulting pics are simply stunning.

Be sure to open the large view as it is as close to being there as we can get:

Happy Memorial Day to Space Placers in the U.S. May you and your family have a safe and wonderful holiday. Remember to look at the planetary trio in the west after sunset - see my blog for details.
