Description: The Helix Nebula, often referred to as the “Eye of the Universe,” is a stunning example of the final stages of a star’s life. As we gaze upon it, we find ourselves looking directly into the core of a planetary nebula, an event that marks both an end and a beginning in the cosmic life cycle. Situated approximately 650 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, this magnificent celestial formation represents a phase that our own Sun is expected to undergo in about 5 billion years, a testament to the ever-evolving nature of our universe.With its vibrant colors and complex structure, the Helix Nebula is one of the closest and most well-studied planetary nebulae to Earth. Through our telescopes, we observe the intricate details of its composition; the gaseous shells that once constituted the outer layers of a star like ours are now being shed into space, illuminated by the intense ultraviolet radiation from the remaining star core.I live under the dark skies of South Dakota.
