Many observatories have captured the Helix Nebula, but none in such detail as the Webb.
A spectacular new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals intricate structures inside the Helix Nebula, where a dying sunlike star is enriching the galaxy with the elements needed for life.
The European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) VISTA telescope, at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, has captured a striking new image of the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293). This picture, taken in infrared light, ...
Imaged many times by previous space telescopes, the Helix Nebula is loved for its similarity to the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings.
Earlier telescopes, including Hubble, revealed the Helix as a serene, eye-shaped glow. Webb presents a more intimate view, ...
