X-ray Clues Reveal Destroyed Planet https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/x-ray-clues-reveal-destroyed-planet/ #NASA #ChandraXRayObservatory #HelixNebula #WhiteDwarfs

The Helix Nebula is a cloud of gas ejected by a dying star, known as a white dwarf. In the composite image, the cloud of gas strongly resembles a creature’s eye. Here, a hazy blue cloud is surrounded by misty, concentric rings of pale yellow, rose pink, and blood orange. Each ring appears dusted with flecks of gold, particularly the outer edges of the eye-shape. The entire image is speckled with glowing dots in blues, whites, yellows, and purples. At the center of the hazy blue gas cloud, is a bright white dot with a pink outer ring, and a smaller white dot.
