Helix Nebula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Helix Nebula, also known as The Helix, NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, probably before 1824, this object is one of the closest to the Earth of all the bright planetary nebulae. The estimated distance is about 700 light-years.  The Helix Nebula has sometimes been referred to as the "Eye of God" in pop culture."
