COSMIC MESSAGE
The Helix Nebula, also known as NGC 7293, is a planetary nebula located just 700 light-years away in Aquarius. It represents the final phase of a dying sun-like star, which has shed its outer layers over the last few thousand years. This deep view, created from 10 hours of exposure, reveals details in both its bright inner region and fainter outer halos.
