The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as a Messier 27, M 27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. It has a large angular diameter as a planetary nebula, about 8 x 5,6 arc minutes. The rarely imaged outer halo is not included, but it can be seen in this image. With the outer shell, the diameter is over 15 arc minutes (more than a size of the half a Moon).
Planetary nebulae are shells of gas shed by stars late in their life cycles after using up all of their nuclear fuel. The star then ejects a gaseous shell, which is illuminated by its extremely hot central star, a core left from the original star.
In this image, the central star is clearly visible at very center of the nebula. M27's central star has a magnitude of 13.5 and is an extremely hot blueish dwarf with a temperature of about 85,000 K. Our own star, the Sun, is expected to undergo the same process in a couple of billion years.
The NFT is a very deep photo of Messier 27, the Dumbbell Nebula, and shows details in the outer halo of the planetary nebula. Lights for this object were shot in 2012 and 2020, with exposure time around 14 hours.
The Unlockable Content includes a special series museum quality acrylic/aluminum print 60 x 60 cm signed by J-P Metsävainio.
