3. The Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula, formed from the outer layers of a dying star similar to our Sun, located about 650 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. 4. The images reveal ...

Delicate wings of hot gas spew from a dying star, showcasing a stunning planetary nebula 2,500-3,800 light-years away. A metallic, jewel-like nebula formed by a massive red giant star swallowing ...

In this image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, "cometary knots" on the Helix Nebula show blue-green heads caused by excitation of their molecular material from shocks or ultraviolet radiation.

The mysterious X-rays could be the by-product of that annihilation. The Helix Nebula is an astounding ring of glowing gas with the star at its center. It was a star much like the Sun, but when it ...

This discovery stems from four decades of X-ray observations of the Helix Nebula, located 650 light-years from Earth. The stream of X-ray radiation remained effectively constant over at least 20 ...

Recent research has uncovered what appears to be the grizzly death of an exoplanet in the nearby Helix Nebula, which seems to have been devoured by a dying star. Researchers have been detecting X ...

The Helix Nebula is an eye-catching sight in the sky – and not just because it looks like a giant eye. Located about 655 light-years from Earth, it’s the site of a slow-motion explosion ...

The rapidly spinning neutron star embedded in the center of the nebula is the dynamo powering the nebula's eerie interior bluish glow. The Bubble Nebula is 7 light-years across and resides 7,100 ...

"We think this X-ray signal could be from planetary debris pulled onto the white dwarf, as the death knell from a planet that was destroyed by the white dwarf in the Helix Nebula." An artist's ...

A photo shared on social media authentically showed the Helix Nebula captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Rating: A photo allegedly showing the Helix Nebula and that was said to have been ...
