Rings Around the Ring Nebula
#space #science #photography #cosmos The Ring Nebula (M57) is more complicated than it appears through a small telescope. The easily visible central ring is about one light-year across, but this remarkably deep exposure - a collaborative effort combining data from three different large telescopes - explores the looping filaments of glowing gas extending much farther from the nebula's central star. This composite image includes red light emitted by hydrogen as well as visible and infrared light. The Ring Nebula is an elongated planetary nebula, a type of nebula created when a Sun-like star evolves to throw off its outer atmosphere and become a white dwarf star. The Ring Nebula is about 2,500 light-years away toward the musical constellation Lyra. Image Credit: Hubble

Some walks you have to take alone. And that's okay.

Cafe Du Monde and Oakland Coffee Co are the best in my opinion. Fellow coffee drinkers any (non corporation owned) coffee that just kicks ass? #food #coffee #life
