- Images Released By Hubble Telescope After Repair
Hubble telescope has finally got repaired and NASA scientists have released the first images taken by the telescope after repair. The image is of planetary nebula NGC 6302. I have defined planetary nebula in my earlier posts also. The image is simply...
- A Full Week Of Astrophotography In The Haute-alpes, France
I just spent a week down at Olly Penrice's astronomy mecca in Southern France. Crazy me drove down with all of my gear (the whole trip both ways and what driving we did during the day down there totaled 2100 miles!) and much to Olly's amusement...
- The Cosmic Butterfly
The shimmering colors visible in this image, clearly shows the remarkable complexity of the Twin Jet Nebula [also known as PN M2-9]. The image highlights the nebula?s shells and its knots of expanding gas in striking detail. The glowing and...
- The Fox Nebula
Fox Fur Nebula is located in NGC 2264 Region and lies in the constellation of Monoceros.This interstellar beast is formed of cosmic dust and gas interacting with the energetic light and winds from hot young stars. The shape, visual texture,...

Fireworks in Helix nebula
Image taken by Subaru Telescope shows comet -shaped knots lighting up the Helix nebula.
A nebula is cloud of gas and dust in space. Some nebulas are regions where new stars are being formed, while others are the remains of dead or dying stars. Nebulas come in many shapes and sizes. There are four different types of nebulas- planetary , reflection, emision and absorption nebulas.
Helix nebula is located about 710 light years from Earth and was first planetary nebula in which knots were abserved.
