By coincidence, one of the nearest and largest planetary nebulae, the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), was nearly opposite the incoming Leonids and could be observed. A "Hubble Helix Team" (below) of volunteers led by Margaret Meixner (STScI) organized a nine-orbit campaign to observe the Helix with the ACS, WFPC2, NICMOS, and STIS. http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/helix/ Archive Research 2 http://archive.stsci.edu/siap/search.php?id=HELIX& GET Pointed 360.0 360.0 360.0 360.0 0 0 0 100 338.0 -21.0 10 10 HST Optical
