Welcome to the Helix Nebula! This gorgeous nebula

哈勃太空望远镜

Welcome to the Helix Nebula! This gorgeous nebula image, captured during Hubble's 14th year, is a composite with data from the Kitt Peak National Observatory. The portrait offers a dizzying look down what is actually a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases. The fluorescing tube is pointed nearly directly at Earth, so it looks more like a bubble than a cylinder. Thousands of comet-like filaments, embedded along the inner rim of the nebula, point back toward the central star, which is a small, super-hot white dwarf. We're sharing one outstanding image from each year of Hubble’s mission to celebrate its upcoming 35th birthday – counting down to a new series of anniversary images! Stay tuned for more, and get caught up at the link in our bio! Image description: Almost resembling an eye, a circular region of glowing blue gas is ringed in yellow gas, surrounded by a football-shaped red region. The nebula shines against black space dotted with stars. Image credit: NASA, NOAO, ESA, the Hubble Helix Nebula Team, M. Meixner (STScI), and T.A.

Palau's Jellyfish Lake contains millions of tiny golden jellyfish. Relying on sunlight to survive, they spend most of their lives making daily migrations that follow the sun’s arc across the sky. This migration is crucial to the lake's ecosystem. The jellyfish mix the waters when they swim back and forth, churning the nutrients and small organisms that form the base of the food chain in the process. Photograph by Enric Sala (@enricsala)
