GALEX Helix Nebula
The famous Helix Nebula in ultraviolet from the GALEX mission. There's a version out there that includes infrared data from Spitzer, relegating the GALEX data merely to the blue channel. I think it deserves an image of its own, all by itself. Of course, now I want to go dig around in Spitzer's archive...
Red: NUV (Near ultraviolet)
Green: Pseudo (R+G 50/50)
Blue: FUV (Far ultraviolet)
North is up.
