Greenbelt - January 11, 2000-
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a majestic view of a
planetary nebula, the glowing remains of a dying, Sun-like start.
This stellar relic, first spied be William Herschel 1i 1787, is
nicknamed the "Eskimo" Nebula (NGC 2392) because, when viewing
through ground-based telescopes, it resembles a face surrounded by
a fur parka. |
