Answer 1

Do you mean the Helix Nebula?
http://www.skyimagelab.com/hubphot.html
There are lots of nebulas that look like "eyes". It's a ring of debris after a star goes supernova (explodes).

Answer 2

Yes. The image itself 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.

Answer 3

It doesnt really look like that - run a search on the eye hoax. Other answerers are missing the point - the eye of god pic is a fake - it does include the helix nebula but its a composite of different photos.
