Description
La Nébuleuse Helix, aussi connu comme The Helix ou NGC 7293, est une nébuleuse planétaire de grande taille (PN), situé dans la constellation du Verseau. Découvert par Karl Ludwig Harding, probablement avant 1824, cet objet est l'un des plus proches de la Terre de toutes les nébuleuses planétaires brillantes. La distance est estimée à environ 215 parsecs, ou 700 années-lumière. Il est semblable en apparence à la Nébuleuse de l'Anneau, dont la taille, l'âge et les caractéristiques physiques sont similaires à la Nébuleuse Dumbbell, variant seulement dans sa proximité relative et l'apparition de l'angle de vue équatoriale. Le Helix a souvent été qualifiée de que l'oeil de Dieu sur l'Internet, depuis environ 2003.
The Helix Nebula, also known as The Helix or NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation of 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 215 parsecs or 700 light-years. It is similar in appearance to the Ring Nebula, whose size, age, and physical characteristics are similar to the Dumbbell Nebula, varying only in its relative proximity and the appearance from the equatorial viewing angle. The Helix has often been referred to as the Eye of God on the Internet, since about 2003.
