We saw it for the first time  in October 31, 1999.  Quran mentioned it almost 1400 years ago. The picture is taken by the NASA Hubble Space Telescope of the "Cat's Eye Nebula." It is an exploding star 3,000 light years away.

 They should have called it the "Oily Red Rose Nebula." As the Quran states in Sura Ar-Rahman, "When the sky is torn apart, so it was (like) a red rose, like ointment." Quran [Surah55:Ayah37]
