The Helix Nebula: a Gaseous Envelope Expelled By a Dying Star

This composite image is a view of the colorful Helix Nebula taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Mosaic II Camera on the 4-meter telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The object is so large that both telescopes were needed to capture a complete view. The Helix is a planetary nebula, the glowing gaseous envelope expelled by a dying, sun-like star. The Helix resembles a simple doughnut as seen from Earth. But looks can be deceiving. New evidence suggests that the Helix consists of two gaseous disks nearly perpendicular to each other.

into-theuniverse:

emission nebula NGC 6164 - created by a rare, hot, luminous O-type star, about 40 times as massive as the Sun. The star (center) is only 3-4 million years old, and will explode as a supernova in another 3-4 million years.
