Helix Nebula Sculpture Transforms Library Lobby Into An Observatory.

The sculpture changes with the light and seasons.

Installed in the Irving Schwartz Public Library, in El Paso, Texas, this sculpture creates an impression of the Helix Nebula within the observatory-like entry lobby. The Helix Nebula is 700 light-years, or 4 quadrillion miles, from Earth.

Planetary nebulae, consisting of expanding glowing ionized gas ejected from old red giant stars, are short-lived—lasting tens of thousands of years, compared to a typical stellar lifetime of several billion years.
