    NGC7293, aka “The Eye of God”, is a planetary nebula 700 light-years distant in the constellation Aquarius (Water Bearer). The central white dwarf star is all that remains of the original star after the old red giant expelled its gasses. A little perspective: It took mankind almost 10 years to reach the dwarf planet Pluto which is “only” 0.00079442037 light-years distant. At this rate it would take us 875,000 years to reach NGC7293! http://owlmountainobservatory.com
