The Helix Nebula is one of the closest of all planetary nebulae, lying at a distance of about 400 light years from Earth.

detail info : http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2003/11/

To find the nebula, start from Fomalhaut (Alpha Piscis Austrinus) and move your telescope 11 degrees northwest to 5th-magnitude 47 Aquarii. From this star slide two degrees east to Upsilon Aquarii, and you're almost there.

The Helix Nebula is just one degree west of this star.The planetary appears bright at magnitude 7.3, and a huge 12.8 arcminutes across. This is about half the size of the Full Moon! However, despite its large size the nebula is faint and has a low surface brightness, making it hard to pick out from the sky background.
Small scopes show NGC 7293 as a circular misty patch, and a 150-mm telescope reveals that the center is dark and contains a 13th-magnitude star.

If observed from a dark location the Helix is visible even with binoculars, that show the object as a large circular hazy spot. Rich-field instruments with wide-angle eyepieces are ideal for picking up objects like this on the night sky.

  • There is a Hypothesis in Science that asserts that what was before the Big Bang was a Black Hole.

    There are trillions of Black Holes in the universe. Some think that the other side of a Black Hole is another universe.

    There could be trillions upon trillions of universes in this Multiverse we call existence.

    The religious better sharpen their pencils. They might have some explaining to do.

  • @parallelsdumaurier Aravot – is the storehouse of righteousness and peace, where angel beings reside and possibly the spirits of those not yet born in waiting(Psalm 6:4). so, in addition to the 3 we already see...and possibly a 4th if you consider time a dimension, this would give us at least 10, and possibly 11 dimensions, according to the bible.i thought i would point out the specifics of where it could be construed that "other" dimensions had been mentioned.

  • @parallelsdumaurier Vilon – is the word for curtain or tent as where god stretches out the heavens. (Isaiah 40:22)

    Rakia – refers to the physical or visible heavens containing the sun, moon and stars (Genesis 1:17).

    Shechakim – refers to the atmosphere (Psalm 78:23).Zevul – is the habitation where god’s glory exists as in the heavenlycCity (Isaiah 63:15).Machon – refers to the storehouses where the treasures of rain, snow and hail reside (Deuteronomy 26:15).

  • @parallelsdumaurier Genesis:1:1 says that God created "the heavens"—plural. Genesis:7:11 says "the windows of heaven were opened." A "third heaven" is mentioned in 2 Corinthians:12:1-4 actually, the bible refers to 7 other possible dimensions in the old testament, depending on you define the word "heaven" or "heavens". there are 7 hebrew words for "Heavens" found in the old testament:

  • i love this nebula

  • @parallelsdumaurier are you talking about before the singularity aswell

  • why does the color look different? isnt it usually a deep rhodamine color in the center?

  • Thumbs up if you pulled up this video hoping to hear Anamanaguchi.

  • You all like to talk about god's existence in all such videos. You want to jump over your own head by showing off your "big brains". Hide them, so that nobody would be hurt.

  • @SBulletproof I wasn't going to prove you anything and i won't.

  • eye of god or whatever god is
