The Eye of God

The blue pupils and white eyeballs are surrounded by flesh-colored eyelids, which are very similar to our eyes, but the "Eye of God" is actually vast, and it takes five ~ six years for the light it emits to travel from one side to the other.

The solar system will suffer the same fate in the next 5 billion years.

The Eye of God is the Spiral Nebula, NGC7293 Nebula.

The NGC1068 spiral nebula is located about 60 million light-years from Earth and travels at a speed of more than 1,000 miles per second. Because of its high brightness, it was discovered by French astronomer Charles Michel as early as 1780, and it was named "M77" because it was the 77th nebula discovered at that time to be visible to the naked eye. Although the nebula was later renamed according to the new naming convention, it has remained the focus of scientists' research for more than 200 years. Since 1999, scientists have gained more and deeper understanding of this mysterious nebula with the application of advanced detection tools such as the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscope Detection Satellite (FUSE). The far-ultraviolet spectroscope detection satellite is 18 feet tall and weighs 300 pounds, and it orbits 500 miles above the ground. It has four single-function space telescopes that can analyze ultrashort-wave rays from the Hubble Space Telescope. Since its launch, the far-ultraviolet beamsplitter satellite has collected data on about 2,000 different stars, which are operated by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland. From 29 November to 1 December 2001, the far-ultraviolet spectroscopy satellite surveyed the protrusion in the center of the "NGC1068" spiral nebula and collected a large amount of data. Through the study of these materials, scientists have found that if the entire nebula is compared to an egg, then the protrusion in the center is equivalent to the yolk of the egg, and the surrounding part is equivalent to the egg white. Moreover, the detection results of the center of the nebula are basically consistent with the detection results of the center of the Milky Way. The HelixNebula, produced by a sun-like star at the end of its life, is the closest planetary nebula to earthlings. The star's outer shell is thrown into space, and when viewed from the Earth's position, it looks like it's in a spiral staircase. The remains of the core of the star, which is destined to become a white dwarf, emits very high-energy radiation, causing the previously ejected clouds to fluoresce.

The nebula has an inner disk 8′ 19" (0.52 parsecs) in diameter, an outer bulge 12′ 22" (0.77 parsec) in diameter, and an outermost ring 25′ (1.76 parsec) in diameter, with the outermost ring flattening on one side due to collision with interstellar matter. The inner ring of this planetary nebula is estimated to have expanded for 6,500 years and the outer ring for 12,100 years, at a rate of 40 km/s and 32 km/s, respectively. The main rings contain many hazy nodes, a phenomenon that has been observed in many close-up planetary nebulae.

And after the 2003 movie Lord of the Rings trilogy became popular all over the world, it became known as the Eye of Sauron on the Internet. However, this is not allowed, and international nomenclature laws have stipulated that it is not allowed to rumor that the network type is incorrect name.

The Eye of God is located 700 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius, and in fact, amateur astronomers can faintly see it through small telescopes, which they call the HelixNebula, covering an area of the sky roughly a quarter of a full moon. This rare and spectacular photograph was captured by a giant telescope at the European Southern Observatory at the summit of La Silla, Chile. The picture is so clear that we can even see distant galaxies in the central "eyeball".
