[lace-chat] Fwd: NASA calls it the eye of God

[Tamara P. Duvall]

I got a photo, with the above subject line, from one of my "sources". I 
loved the image but, since it *was* a photo, I couldn't forward it to 
chat. I forwarded it to both of my joke lists however, with a little 
wistful comment/question. My son came up trumps -- as usual <g> -- and 
even provided URLs.  Which are "Arachne-friendly", so now everyone can 
enjoy the view...

I wish I knew what this really was; it's stunning (even though it
seems to be closer to a *human* eye to me...)
Not sure what exactly it is, but it's pretty similar to the Ring Nebula:

    http://www.seds.org/messier/m/m057.html  (good information)
    http://store3.yimg.com/I/skyimage_1785_7550819  (good picture)
albeit with a little touch-up to make it look more like an eye.  It
could also just be entirely computer generated.  Still pretty cool,
though.
