Description

helium II is hard to ionize: it takes a very hot star so it is found typically only near the centers of planetary nebulae

The Helix Nebula designated NGC 7263, is commonly referred to as the Eye of God or even the Eye of Sauron, and looks like a larger and brighter version of M57, the Ring Nebula. This unique and interesting nebula is located in the constellation of Aquarius and is about 650 million light-years away.
