The Helix Nebula is one of brightest and closest examples of a planetary nebula, a gas cloud created at the end of the life of a Sun-like star. The outer gasses of the star expelled into space appear from our vantage point as if we are looking down a helix. The remnant central stellar core, destined to become a white dwarf star, glows in light so energetic it causes the previously expelled gas to fluoresce. The Helix Nebula, given a technical designation of NGC 7293, lies about 700 light-years away towards the constellation of the Water Bearer (Aquarius) and spans about 2.5 light-years. The featured picture was taken with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) located atop a dormant volcano in Hawaii, USA. A close-up of the inner edge of the Helix Nebula shows complex gas knots of unknown origin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-_6tkRDiJR88\/WkxmyJNRpqI\/AAAAAAABjXM\/BF3KmTAbXekTvza6-JYHidS6aFhy9kriwCJoC\/w2000-h2097\/Helix_CFHT_2000.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Import\u00e9 de <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/104239776541827516598\/posts\/BnuXnvQ58rQ\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google+ reshared post The Helix Nebula from CFHTImage Credit: CFHT, Coelum, MegaCam, J.-C.
