Dust and the Helix Nebula

Dust that is visible from 700 light years away? Something tells me that a Swiffer isn’t going to be able to clean that up!

Did you ever get that feeling in your life
That someone was watching you
He don’t have a reason that’s right
But still he’s there watching you
Somone is waiting just outside the back
To take you away
Everybody knows just what he’s there for
To take you away …

Yet another galactic entity in need of Visine.

I’m looking for a tower under it, but not finding it.

I’ve always loved nebulas.

We taxpayers spend billions on observatories that can’t even eliminate red-eye! :swear:

I’ve read too much Tolkien.

My first thought was of the Lidless Eye of the Enemy.

Me too, peeps. Actually that looks like one or both of my eyes lots of times…visine just don’t cut it…

That’s beautiful.

I see one of HAL 9000’s eyes, myself!
