Comments: This is indeed an authentic photograph — or rather, composite of photos — taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. It was featured on NASA's Website as an Astronomy Picture of the Day in May 2003 and thereafter posted on a number of Websites under the title "The Eye of God" (though I couldn't find evidence that NASA has ever referred to it as such). The awe-inspiring image has also been featured on magazine covers and in articles about space imagery.
The image depicts the so-called Helix Nebula, described by astronomers as "a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases." At its center is dying, Sun-like star which has ejected masses of dust and gas to form tentacle-like filaments stretching toward an outer rim composed of the same material. The Sun itself may look like this in several billion years.
not everything thats in the sky and pretty is magic

did it? can we get a link. i'd love to see it, honestly.
EDIT: did see as someone posted it. thanks for the link. also isnt it a Nebula? the colours represent the gases and minerals that were a part of the star. and the tentacle like filaments represent the solar vapors of the star. and one day it is going to happen with our sun. and wont this turn into a balckhole eventually? omg, one blackhole to our list.
or is it that someone is passing on a message to us?
there was a Sufi poet who wrote --
"there is more of the worlds beyond the stars a plain sight could see".
what we see is what we think "exists", yet it doesnt mean that the Unseen doesnt exist. there is more to be discovered from the Unknown.

Must have been a test shot before it was sent out in to space.
It was a MOTH!

Huh? Where?
OK. Thought it's a black-hole or something like that.
Well, so it's a nebula...
