EYEBALL SPACE GOD

Check these trippy photos from the Hubble Telescope!
They're a "nearby" Hourglass Nebula.
NASA believes this may be the first direct view of an immense ring of dust which fuels a black hole at the heart a spiral galaxy (M51) about 20million light-years away. They found that the ring is standing almost perpendicularly to the relatively flat spiral galaxy, like a top spinning on its side with respect to the floor. Wicked.
