Bogus claim for a globular cluster

Post by mostovoy » Tue May 08, 2007 11:22 am

an e-mail message sent to me has a picture of a globular cluster I know I have seen but it is calling it the "eye of god". How can I send you this old APOD and find out its origin and name? I want to stop this scam if possible.

I got a similar E-Mail about a year ago; and this is what is was.

I thought it was amusing because a lot of planetary nebulae can look like an eye. :D
