Thread: 'The Eye of God'

It's a cool image Khos.

This is the Helix Nebula in the constellation of Aquarius. This image was made up from pics taken by the Hubble orbiting telescope and a land-based telescope. It doesn't really have these colours though, it's been artifically coloured.

The science boffins reckon our Sun will eventually go out with a bang like this.

There's more pics of it here, here and here.

Oh, and there's no 3000 year thing about it, it's looked like this for many years, and will do so for many years to come.
