Скачать или смотреть NASA Found a "Biblical Angel" Staring Out of Space 👁️

Does it see you? This is one of the most unsettling images ever captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Meet MyCn 18, the Hourglass Nebula. While its shape is stunning, it's the glowing, intricate "eye" in its center that haunts astronomers and mystics alike. The structure is so precise, it's been compared to ancient descriptions of biblical angels or the "wheel with an eye in its center."

But what is this cosmic eye?

It is the dying breath of a Sun-like star. As the star exhausted its nuclear fuel, it ejected its outer layers into space. The delicate rings of colorful gas (red from nitrogen, green from hydrogen, and blue from oxygen) form the "hourglass" walls. The "pupil" of the eye is the star's super-hot, dying core—a white dwarf—illuminating the structure from within like a celestial spotlight.

The sands of time have run out for this star, and in its final moments, it created this all-seeing eye to stare back at the universe.
