How old is Ring star?

As of October 2023, the Ring nebula (M57) is estimated to be around 1,500 years old. It formed from the outer layers of a dying star that shed its material, creating the colorful gas cloud we see today. This makes it a relatively young nebula in astronomical terms.


What is the difference between a stellar nebula and a planetary nebula?

A stellar nebula, often referred to as a primordial or star-forming nebula, is a vast cloud of gas and dust where new stars are born. In contrast, a planetary nebula is formed from the outer layers of a dying star, typically a medium-sized star, that have been expelled into space after the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer envelope. While stellar nebulae are associated with the birth of stars, planetary nebulae signify the end stages of a star's lifecycle.

What Creates a planetary nebula?

A planetary nebula is created when a low- to medium-mass star reaches the end of its life cycle and sheds its outer layers of gas into space. This process exposes the hot core of the star, which emits ultraviolet radiation that causes the surrounding gas to glow and form a colorful nebula.


What is left when a planetary nebula dissipates?

When a planetary nebula dissipates, what remains is the core of the star that has shed its outer layers. This core, known as a white dwarf, is extremely dense and hot, gradually cooling over billions of years. The planetary nebula itself, which is the glowing gas and dust expelled by the dying star, eventually disperses into space.

When will NGC 6720 enter the protostar stage?

It will not, at least not on its own. NGC 6720 is not the sort of nebula that produces new stars; it is a planetary nebula formed from the gasses expelled from a dying star. At its center is a remnant called a white dwarf.
