The image of the eye-like Helix nebula is one of the most iconic. It's nicknamed “Eye of God” and is a bright planetary nebula located about 700 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. It burns at 120,000 degrees Celsius and is a cylinder that happens to be pointed toward Earth. This nebula is also known as NGC 7293.
