Space Time
Also known as NGC 7009, Caldwell 55.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Saturn Nebula image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 21.1 h, Dec -11.4° in Aquarius, at an adopted distance of 5,000 light-years.
Saturn Nebula (planetary nebula; central source Saturn Nebula, illuminating stellar system): projected footprint at the adopted distance 1.8 × 1.8 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 0.9 light-years.
This MUSE composite encodes emission at different wavelengths. The handles are expelled gas, not planetary rings; the navigable depth is not the MUSE team’s spectroscopic reconstruction. Projected structure follows the credited observation at its published angular scale and an approximate adopted distance. Shallow depth is illustrative, not measured tomography. The source palette is preserved; brightness is adjusted for the navigable view.
