Ariel, God’s Lion of Samaria
Ariel was founded in 1978 when 40 families established themselves on top of a hill in the heart of ancient biblical Israel north of Jerusalem. Ezer Weizmann, Defense Minister at the time, attended the ground breaking ceremony. Ari’el means Lion of God in Hebrew and the city has lived up to its name.

The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
