The "Eye of God"

I think the Science and Technology group recently had a talk on the Hubble telescope. This photograph was recently taken by Hubble and has been nicknamed "The Eye of God". 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.

I thought it was a stunning photograph.
