The NASA Spitzer Space Telescope has observed a glowing dust ring around a hot white dwarf star in the center of the Helix nebula. Astronomers think that this picture could be the fate of our solar system in about five billion years when the Sun depletes its storehouse of hydrogen fuel and engulfs the Earth.
