If you were to look at the Ring Nebula from the side, it would look like the Dumbbell Nebula (M27). With this
object, we're looking directly at the pole of the nebula.
Dumbbell Nebula in the Vulpecula (Fox) constellation (M 27)
M 27 in the Fox constellation
Distance: 1,360 light years from Earth
The Dumbbell Nebula (M 27) in the Fox constellation was the first planetary nebula ever discovered. On 12 July
1764, Charles Messier discovered this new and fascinating class of objects. We see this object almost directly
from its equatorial plane. If you could see the Dumbbell Nebula from one of its poles, it would probably reveal
that it's in the shape of a ring, and we would see something very similar to what we know from the Ring Nebula
(M 57). In reasonably good weather, we can see this object well even at small magnifications.
