ESO’s VISTA telescope, at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, has captured a striking new image of the Helix Nebula. This picture, taken in infrared light, reveals strands of cold nebular gas that are ...

This color-composite image of the Helix Nebula was created from images obtained using the the Wide Field Imager, an astronomical camera attached to the 2.2 meter Max-Planck Society/ESO telescope at ...

A deep new image of the magnificent Helix planetary nebula has been obtained using the Wide Field Imager at ESO's La Silla Observatory. The image shows a rich background of distant galaxies, usually ...

A new image of the Helix planetary nebula shows arich background of distant galaxies. Astronomers used the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) La SillaObservatory in Chile to capture the view. The ...

A newly released image of the planetary nebula taken in infrared light brings into view what normally can't be seen in visible light. Anne Dujmovic was a senior editor at CNET. Her areas of focus ...

A nearby planetary nebula shines like a huge golden eye in a new photo snapped by a telescope in Chile. The image shows the Helix Nebula, which lies about 700 light-years from Earth in the ...

The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) VISTA telescope, at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, has captured a striking new image of the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293). This picture, taken in infrared light, ...

The Helix Nebula, NGC 7293, is not only one of the most interesting and beautiful planetary nebulae; it is also one of the closest nebulae to Earth, at a distance of only 710 light years away. A new ...

The "Eye of God" — one of the most iconic images in astronomy — shines bright in this wide-field image. The Helix Nebula, also known as "The Eye of God," The Helix, or (officially) NGC 7293, is a ...

It’s one of the most iconic celestial images in astronomy — the eye-like Helix Nebula. Ironically, the incredibly harsh conditions within this dying Sun-like star are producing a molecule integral for ...
