Cat's Eye Nebula Hubble
Technical info from NASA Hubble.
Cat's eye nebula hubble. The Hubble Space Telescope has observed about 100 of these objects starting with the Cats Eye nebula in 1994. A planetary nebula forms when Sun-like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers to form bright nebulae with amazing twisted shapes. The Cats Eye Nebula NGC 6543 seen in detail by the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen in space.
In this detailed view from NASAs Hubble Space Telescope the so-called Cats Eye Nebula looks like the penetrating eye of the disembodied sorcerer Sauron from the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. The Hubble images show that from 1994 to 2004 the Cats Eye Nebula has expanded. 11x14 8x10 16x20 24x30 24x36 30x40 4x6 5x7 12x18.

About This Image. The Cats Eye Nebula formally catalogued as NGC 6543 and seen here in this detailed view from the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen in space. But Stingray a planetary nebula around the star SAO 244567 has its own ideas.
