Eye of GOD!

Thought I would share the forward my mom sent me today. I just couldn't believe the photo when I opened it. Here is the text from the email:


Dear All: This photo is a very rare one, taken by NASA. This kind of event occurs once in 3000 years. This photo has done miracles in many lives. Make a wish ... you have looked at the eye of God. Surely you will see the changes in your life within a day. Whether you believe it or not, don't keep this mail with you. Pass this at least to 7 persons. This is a picture NASA took with the Hubbell telescope. Called "The Eye of God." During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity.

(Literally it is only One minute!) Just send this to people and see what happens.


Whether or not the photo is true, it is an amazine graphic. Of course, I haven't looked it up on snopes.com yet, not tried to find it on NASA's Web site. But, after I upload, I'll look into it.

So,

Without further interruption,

Here,

Love to all,

FYI...The REAL information on this photo per www.snopes.com.

The above-displayed image is a real photograph of the Helix Nebula, although it's technically not a single photograph but rather a composite image formed from several photographs taken by NASA's orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and a land-based telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. This image was NASA's "Astronomy Picture of the Day" for 10 May 2003.

The Helix Nebula does not naturally appear with the colors shown above, however; the tinting of the image is artificial. The picture's "Eye of God" appellation is a title coined by an admirer of the photo due to the nebula's resemblance to a human eye, not something designated by NASA, and the nebula is also visible all the time, not merely "once in 3000 years."
