This
photo is very rare. It was taken by NASA using the Hubble telescope.
This kind of event occurs once in 3000 years. It's called "The Eye
of God." This photo has done miracles in many lives, so please don't
delete it. Make a wish...you have looked at the eye of God. Don't keep
this email with you. Pass it along to at least 7 persons.
Here
is what Snopes had to say about the above...
Claim...Photograph
taken by the Hubble Telescope shows a nebula dubbed the "Eye of
God."
Status...Real
picture; inaccurate description.
The
above displayed image is a real photograph of the Helix Nebula although
it's technically not a single photograph but rather a composite image
formed from several photographs taken by NASA's orbiting Hubble Space
Telescope
and
a land based telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory near
Tucson
,
Arizona
.

The
above nebula image was NASA's "Astronomy Picture of the day for 10
May 2003.
The
Helix Nebula does not naturally appear with the colors shown above,
however, the tinting of the image is artificial.
The
picture's "Eye of God" appellation is a title coined by any
admirer of the photo due to the nebula's resemblance to a human eye,
not something designated by NASA, and the nebula is also visible all the
time, not merely "once in 3000 years."
Below
are additional views of the "Eye of God" with alternate tinting.
World War II was the deadliest military conflict in
History. Over 60 million people were killed worldwide. The most
casualties by country...the Soviet Union with almost 24 million people
killed overall. Military deaths were around 10 million with the civilian
population surrendering 24 million lives. United States casualties
totaled almost 500,000 killed.
American factories were converted to producing
material used in the war effort. One major effort was producing aircraft
that would be used throughout the world fighting tyranny and at home
protecting citizens. Below are some of those aircraft. There are too
many to show. This sampling alone is phenomenal.
