Cat's Eye Nebula Hubble
The full beauty of the Cats Eye Nebula is revealed in this detailed view from NASAs Hubble Space Telescope.
Cat's eye nebula hubble. One of the brightest objects of its type its resemblance to a cats eye is due to a series of gas loops that have been ejected by the central star over the past 1000 years or so. In this detailed view from the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope the so-called Cats Eye Nebula looks like the penetrating eye of the disembodied sorcerer Sauron from the film adaptation of Lord of the Rings The nebula formally catalogued NGC 6543 is every bit as inscrutable as the JRR. Cats Eye Hubble Remix.
The Cats Eye Nebula also known as NGC 6543 is a visual fossil record of the dynamics and late evolution of a dying star. A classic planetary nebula the Cats Eye NGC 6543 represents. Zooming on the Cats Eye Nebula Hubble observes the sky in the direction of the constellation of Draco the Dragon where the Cats Eye Nebula is located.
Although the rings may be the key to explaining the final gasp of the dying central star the mystery behind the Cats Eye Nebulas nested Russian doll structure remains largely. The Cats Eye Nebula was the first nebula to have its chemical composition measured. Staring across interstellar space the alluring Cats Eye nebula lies three thousand light-years from Earth.

This nebulas dying central star may have produced the simple outer pattern of dusty concentric shells by shrugging off outer.
