Eye of the HourGlass Nebula

This is the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day from February 9, 1996

Could this be the All-Seeing Eye that is so prevalent throughout the history of man??
Or is it just some bullshit Computer Graphic Image??

As you stare into this "eye" can you feel its intense gaze looking back at you?
