{"product_id":"ring-nebula-m57-print","title":"The Cyclops (The Ring Nebula)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA perfect, distorted doughnut of glowing gas, gazing back at us across 2,500 light-years. The Ring Nebula is an artifact of stellar death—an 'astronomical archaeology' site where we can trace the final breaths of a dying star. Unlike the chaotic nurseries of the Genesis Cycle, the Ring is a study in symmetry and inevitable decay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central star, a white dwarf, is stripping itself bare, ejecting its outer layers to form this iridescent shell. The NIRCam image reveals intricate filament structures in the inner region, colored in shades of blue and green, while the main shell features a ring of carbon-based molecules (PAHs). Beyond this, ten concentric arcs ripple outward, evidence of the dying star's interaction with a hidden companion. Against velvety blacks, the transition from the orange inner ring to the pink outer shell vibrates with color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eScientific provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesignation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMessier 57 (M57), NGC 6720, Ring Nebula\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,500 Light Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstellation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLyra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePhysical process\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanetary nebula formation; White dwarf evolution; Binary star interaction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstrument\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJWST NIRCam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat you see\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistorted doughnut shape, Blue\/Green inner cavity, Concentric outer arcs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine Art\u003c\/strong\u003e — museum-grade pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® Metallic.
