M57 is another famous and often photographed object. It is also known as the Ring Nebula. ... Of course, they have nothing to do with planets but rather represent late stages in the evolution of low mass stars in which a double shell source (Hydrogen and Helium Burning) around a non-fusing Carbon core is driving the outer layes of the star away, thus revealing a hotter star (the central star of the Planetary nebula). ...

Influence of Asteroids and Trans-Neptunian Objects on the Motion of Major Planets and Masses of the Asteroid Main Belt and the TNO Ring . ... Perturbations from asteroids and Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) produce a significant effect on the orbits of planets and should be taken into account when high-accuracy planetary ephemerides are constructed. On the other hand, from an analysis of motion of the major planets some physical parameters of the asteroids and TNOs may be obtained. ...

... The circumnuclear GASEOUS disks are often decoupled from the circumnuclear stellar disks and are even stronger inclined to the outer disk planes; in fact, we have found a considerable `population' of inner polar rings. Inner gas polar rings are found as in spiral galaxies with the massive outer gas disks co-planar to the main symmetry planes (e.g. NGC 2841, Sil'chenko et al. 1997, and NGC 7217, Sil'chenko & Afanasiev 2000) as well in many lenticular galaxies (Fig. ...
