Helix Nebula
Going back to basics:
Today, for my own enjoyment, I have decided to post a daily (or weekly) picture of our space and Universe. This one in particular is one of my latest favorite pictures. I think it has been labeled by some as the "Eye from God." The picture is actually from the Helix Nebula located about 700 light years from the constellation of Aquarius. The bluish dust is radiation captured by infrared camera which shows the surrounding gas and dust to be approximately 2 light years in diameter. Yes, 2 light years in diameter! To think of the immensity of Nebula Helix is absolutely inconceivable and humbling. Later!

Very nice picture. I love those space pictures of varoius nebula's. That's really amazing. If only I could fly there too see that place with my iwn eyes.
Thank you. I plan to post one every week. Stay tuned for another one.
I know, makes you want to have telescopic vision, doesn't it?
