The Helix Nebula aka 'The eye of the God'

This image is called "The eye of God"



This image was possible by composition from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the view from National Science Foundation's Mosaic Camera mounted on a 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Ariz. NGC 7293, the Helix Nebula, is one of the closest nebulae of all and is about 450 light years away (exact distance is uncertain). This image is of paramount importance as it holds the clues in future for our very own Sun - happens to a star towards its dying stages. At the center of the image one can spot a white dot a "super-hot white dwarf" star swimming in the sea of hot blue gases.
