宇宙驚現(xiàn)'上帝之眼'(圖)

Astronomers have taken a stunning photo of a nebula (see photo) and called it the Eye of God, according to the UK's Daily Telegraph. The object is actually a shell of gas and dust that has been blown off by a faint central star, lying around 700 light-year away in the constellation of Aquarius. The photo was taken with a giant telescope on a mountaintop in Chile.

英國《每日電訊報》稱天文學(xué)家最近在宇宙深處拍攝到了一個壯觀的星云(見圖)，并命名為"上帝之眼"。該景象實際上是一個衰亡中的恒星釋放出的氣體和灰塵，位于離地球約700光年的寶瓶座星系。這張照片是在智利的一座高山頂上用巨型天文望遠鏡攝下的。
