"the Ring Nebula proves the existence of hollow worlds" (from Hollow Earth).

How does it prove it? Is this ring nebula an hollow sphere like thing, that if was more solid could really be an hollow planet? 200.230.213.152 01:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

No, it's a gaseous plasma. That quote is from a pseudo-science book, and is misguided. Though it is perfectly acceptable to quote in context in the Hollow Earth article, where it is clearly given as an example of "bad science". Zexpe 17:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Ring Nebula (NGC 6822)

It is proposed to merge this article with Ring Nebula (NGC 6822).

Oppose: I'm not clear on the motivation for this proposed merger. Perhaps it is because of their similar names. However, since these are two distinct objects I disagree with a merger. At most, I would support a disambiguation page, but leave Ring Nebula pointing to here with a disambig note at the top. WilliamKF 03:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Oppose: but agreed that a disambiguation page is needed.Badgettrg 02:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Oppose: shouldn't it be merged with NGC 6822 instead if it relates to it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.106.237.2 (talk) 21:54, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
also are those 'official' names for Ring and Bubble nebulae in NGC 6822 that these merges are proposed for? aside from the fact that they look similar? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.106.237.2 (talk) 22:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Oppose:It's clear that each page contain one nebula only.--Prince Max 18:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prince Max (scientist) (talk • contribs)
Oppose: Co-ordinates alone show that they are two differant objects, and there is an article somewhere that i cannot currently remember the name of that lists all the solar system objects with the same name. --Alphamone (talk) 22:44, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
