IMAGE number
PIX4623685
Image title
Planetary nebula IC 4406 dans le Loup/HST - One of the most interesting features of IC 4406, the “” Retina Nebula””, is the irregular lattice of dark lanes that criss - cross the center of the nebula. These lanes are about 160 astronomical units wide (1 astronomical unit is the distance between the Earth and Sun). They are located right at the boundary between the hot glowing gas that produces the visual light imaged here and the neutral gas seen with radio telescopes. We see the lanes in silhouette because they have a density of dust and gas that is a thousand times higher than the rest of the nebula. The dust lanes are like a rather open mesh veil that has been wrapped around the bright donut. This image is a composite of data taken by Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in June 200
