Not an Urban legend
This is actually true, not an urban legend -
This is an actual photograph — or rather, composite of photos —taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
This picture was posted on NASA’s Website as an Astronomy Picture of the Day on May 16, 2003.
Since then,it has been posted on lots of Websites and called “The Eye of God”
The awe-inspiring image has also been featured on magazine covers and in articles about space imagery.
Amazing!
The Hubble completes one orbit around the Earth (crossing over the same longitude line) every 97 minutes. Its estimated speed is 8 km per second (5 miles per second).
