C63 – The Helix Nebula
Comet-like tendrils cluster along the inner rim of the nebula’s reddish outer gas ring. This composite picture is a seamless blend of Hubble’s ultra-sharp images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys combined with the wide view of the Mosaic Camera on the National Science Foundation's 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory.
