These end stages of a star’s life can be utterly beautiful – as is the case with this planetary nebula called the Helix Nebula. Astronomers study these objects by looking at all kinds of light. This images show X-rays from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (magenta), optical light data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (orange, light blue), infrared data from the European Southern Observatory VISTA telescope (gold, dark blue), and ultraviolet data from GALEX (purple) of the Helix Nebula.</p><p><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/idl-tiff-file-124/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nasa.gov/image-detail/idl-tiff</span><span class="invisible">-file-124/</span></a></p>

The AWT was the only wind tunnel capable of testing full-size aircraft engines in simulated altitude conditions. A large wooden drive fan, located on the other side of these vanes, created wind speeds up to 500 miles per hour.</p><p><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/grc-1944-c-03991orig/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nasa.gov/image-detail/grc-1944</span><span class="invisible">-c-03991orig/</span></a></p>
