The Dying Star


This is a NASA photo of a dying star called the Helix nebula.  It is found 650 light years away from Earth in the Aquarius constellation. In death, the dusty outer layers of the nebula unraveled into space, shimmering from the powerful ultraviolet radiation produced by its hot  core.
