Abstract

The article discusses the Ring Nebula (M57) in Lyra, which is a popular planetary nebula in the night sky. The focus of the article is on the nebula's central star, which is challenging to spot due to its location at the limit of vision. The article provides historical information about the discovery of the Ring Nebula and the mysterious nature of its central star. It also offers tips for observers who want to see the central star, including using high magnification and focusing solely on the star rather than the nebula itself. [Extracted from the article]
