Set Dressing - Helix Nebula Poster

This is a replica of The Helix Nebula Poster as seen in Sheldon and Leonard's apartment. Designed from the proper resolution source image to be printed at full size. This detailed picture of the Helix Nebula shows a fine web of filaments, like the spokes of a bicycle, embedded in the colorful red and blue gas ring around this dying star. The Helix Nebula is one of the nearest planetary nebulae to Earth, only 650 light years away.Credit: NASA, NOAO, ESA, the Hubble Helix Nebula Team, M. Meixner (STScI), and T.A. Rector (NRAO).
