Post Light On Nebulas !

Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory have captured a striking image of the Helix Nebula, the closest planetary nebula to Earth, using the two-year-old VISTA telescope in Chile.
The infrared image shows areas of cold nebular gas, which is invisible in pictures taken in visible light, on a background of stars and galaxies.

When stars enter the last phase of their life they eject large amounts of highly charged gas which radiate to create a planetary nebula, so named because the bright discs displayed by many resemble the outer planets of the solar system, Uranus and Neptune.
