ALT This image of the Ring Nebula was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Viewed like a distorted donut, an inner circular region glows in dark blue shades with faint stars viewed within. It's surrounded by a ring of bright teal, then an outer ring of orange. Black space with distant, faint stars fills the background.

ALT This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.
