I’m confused about what exactly the ring is in the image or the main image at least. There seems to be an enhanced image in the article that highlights the ring more clearly as an outer edge, which makes sense (I suppose).
But I don’t understand what I’m to make of the top image. It’s the diffuse light part of the ring?
You need to zoom in to the center of the bright elliptical. It would have been easier to see without zooming if they'd subtracted off the elliptical.
Ah yes! Thanks! The enhanced image does day “close up” after all! A bit lazy of me!
Very cool though! A zoomed inset in the main image would have helped I think.
