M27 (Dumbbell, NGC6853m Apple Core) is a planetary Nebula residing at about 1,200 light-years from Earth, discovered by Charles Messier in 1764. It contains dense nodes of gas at its core, the glowing gas around the central star (a White Dwarf) is formed by ionized hydrogen (Orange-red) and ionized oxygen (Blue) and is a consequence of the star shedding its outer layers. M27 is the brightest planetary nebula in the night sky.
