The Helix Nebula - one of brightest and closest planetary nebulae. Isn't it beautiful? I'm a sucker for a bright ball of gas.It boggles the mind to think that our sun will one day run out of fuel and look like this before going on to become a white dwarf.
Note to self: We are all just exchanges of energy;
truly nothing is permanent.

i totally share your love for space. i almost changed by blog template to a space theme but it was going to delete all my widgets. Fidget!
I'll just check out space.com's latest pics of the day/week!
Goodness. I just came by to tell you that I recognized you for a silly little blog award on my page and now I'm pondering my purpose in life and how the world will look to future generations. Deep, Christy. Real deep.
Love is permanent. Happy Easter!

Seems I read somewhere this nebula is sometimes called the Eye of God or maybe just the Eye. Too early for me to remember. Thanks for posting this.
