Default The Eye Of God

Hi all, just wanted to share a photograph I saw on the net today taken by NASA.
It's of The Helix Nebula and is also known as "The Eye Of God". I just think that
sometimes there are images that go beyond words. I have included it here as I feel it
is a truly awesome image.

What do you think? can you think of an image that goes beyond words? if so please share it with us.
Thanks for having a look.

That's a fantastic picture! I love astronomy photographs, sometimes it's hard to believe they're real and not something created in a graphics program from scratch :-) I must admit that if I had a spare month or two I'd browse NASA's entire Hubble Telescope gallery...

The mars rovers pictures always blew me away. the resolution... the colors... the details... it almost looks as if you could just walk around on the surface of mars as if it were right here on earth.
