We have presented new observations of the ionized gas, molecular gas and cool dust in the Helix nebula (NGC 7293). The ionized gas is observed in the form of a Hα image, which is constructed using images from the Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas (SHASSA). The molecular emission was mapped using the H2v = 1 → 0 s(1) line at 2.122μm. The far-infrared (FIR) observations were obtained using ISOPHOT on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO).
