It all starts with a curiosity; The God's Eye Nebula




The God's Eye Nebula, which is also called the Helix Nebula or NGC 7293, which is the scientific name, from Earth you can see that it is more or less blue, inside it looks more like an eye.


But even so, what I find interesting is that from another point of view you can see in volume it is almost like a planet with rings, we cannot see this from the Earth of course and it is very curious because it is a different type of nebula, it is a planetary nebula that has nothing to do with a planet.


It is a star that is dying and has ejected two different disks or two spheres almost of gas, the white one and the red one. These two disks were formed at totally different times, one 12,000 years ago and the other 6,000 years ago, that is, how long a star takes to die.


The most fascinating thing is that this will also be the future of our sun, in about 5,000 million years it will also expel its layers and form a planetary nebula, leaving a white lullaby in the center.
