Helix Nebula In Visible And In Infrared Light
Helix Nebula in Visible and in Infrared Light
The Helix Nebula, also known as NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Planetary nebulae like the Helix are sculpted late in a Sun-like star’s life by a torrential gush of gases escaping from the dying star. They have nothing to do with planet formation, but got their name because they look like planetary disks when viewed through a small telescope.

The ego is impatient because it´s time is limited…
The spirit is patient because it knows it is eternal.

El ego es impaciente porque su tiempo es limitado…
