I found this shot of some guy named Helix Nebulae's eye taken by some photographer named Spitzer. I don't how he got it so messed up.

I tried to fix it for him by running my red eye filter, but then there was so much messed up, the best I could do was just the eye ball.

That NASA web site is weird.

Original

My fix

...

No photographers were harmed in this experiment. Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

What we question is their condition before the experiment.

Umm, this particular group of photographers seemed ok. Not sure about the 'artist' involved. Roll Eyes

For those that don't know.. in the original picture, what you are looking at is a Red Giant Star that exploded and is now a Red Dwarf Star.  pretty much everything else in the picture is the Matter that use to make up the star.

I actually find that picture VERY intriguing.   sorry, im a bit of a Trekkie and space nerd.

Nothing wrong with being a space nerd! I find it intriguing too, especially now that I know what the original image was.

But you can't blame Patches, after all it does look like someones eye. Wink

Of course it looks like an eye!  I believe it has even been given the nickname the red eye galaxy!

Billions of years don't make any difference to me. I'll be happy if I last another 10. LOL

Yeah. And when humans go extinct cockroaches will take over and evolve into these Smiley.
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Too late... past events indicate some have already evolved and disguised themselves as humans.
