NASA Galaxy Evolution Explorer: Ultraviolet image of NGC 7293, also known as the Helix Nebula - the nearest example of what happens to a star as it evolves into a white dwarf (May 5, 2005)

The Helix Nebula / Eye of God
A planetary nebula in Aquarius
I got another 2 hours of exposure time on the Helix Nebula in the Aquarius constellation and integrated it with my data from last year (about another 2h) to produce this shot. This is a narrowband image made from captured hydrogen and oxygen emissions.
The Helix Nebula is an absolutely gorgeous target specifically because of its rarity. Most planetary nebulae (the products of stars collapsing into white dwarfs) are extremely small because they're far away. The Helix isn't any bigger than them, but it's incredibly close to us, at just under 700 Ly from Earth, which makes it appear 20 times the linear size of other planetary nebulae (e.g. the Crab Nebula or the Ring Nebula).
Musings on the acquisition process after the cut.
