Description
Space image: Ring Nebula (Messier 57) - a colorful orange and blue doughnut in the universe. Could also be an eye... :-)
This image shows the dramatic shape and colour of the Ring Nebula, otherwise known as Messier 57.
From Earths perspective, the nebula looks like a simple elliptical shape with a shaggy boundary. However, new observations combining existing ground-based data with new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope data show that the nebula is shaped like a distorted doughnut. This doughnut has a rugby-ball-shaped region of lower-density material slotted into in its central gap, stretching towards and away from us.

The original NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image was released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. I carefully enhanced the picture with a special artistic treatment. The result preserves the character of the original image but looks like a realistic painting and can be printed in large sizes. The colors are more vibrant and vivid than in the original image. It will look amazing as large print, canvas print, metal or acrylic print on the wall of your living room, dining room or bedroom. Also a great fit for a man cave, a waiting room or a lobby. Hang this beautiful artwork of our fascinating universe in your home or office!

Trivia: this is one of the Hubble Telescope images in the apartment of Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter from the TV series The Big Bang Theory
