Helix nebula, infrared Spitzer image Photo Mugs Helix nebula (NGC 7293), infrared Spitzer SpaceTelescope image. This is a planetary nebula, aseries of shells of gas cast from a central startowards the end of its life. The ejection of thestars outer layers exposes its hot core, whoseradiation ionises the shells, causing them toglow. This image was taken at wavelengths of 3.6microns (blue), 4.5 microns (green) and 8 microns(red). Longer wavelengt… |
