“The Helix Nebula from CFHT” is copyrighted by J.-C. Cuillandre (CFHT Staff), CFH12K CCD Camera, CFHT. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Helix Nebula, also known as NGC 7293, is a planetary nebula 450 light-years away. It formed at the end of a Sun-like star's life, with the star's outer gases expanding into space. The remnant central core, which will become a white dwarf, emits energetic light that makes the expelled gas glow. Our own Sun may look like this one day.
