NASA's HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE CAPTURES ''ESKIMO''

N365573 01: Hubble resumes gazing at the Heavens by taking a look at the "Eskimo" Nebula In its first glimpse of the heavens following the successful December 1999 servicing mission March 6, 2000. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a majestic view of a planetary nebula, the glowing remains of a dying, sun-like star. This stellar relic, first spied by William Herschel in 1787, is nicknamed the "Eskimo" Nebula because, when viewed through ground-based telescopes, it resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka.
