Cat's Eye Nebula Hubble
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 nebula formally cataloged NGC 6543 is every bit as inscrutable as the JRR.
Cat's eye nebula hubble. In this image from the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope numerous bubbles are visible. 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 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.
The Cats Eye Nebula one of the first planetary nebulae discovered also has one of the most complex forms known to this kind of nebula. A planetary nebula forms when Sun-like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers to form bright nebulae with amazing twisted shapes. More nebulae must be studied before scientists have a clear understanding of why nebulae expand.

The Cats Eye Nebula was the first nebula to have its chemical composition measured. To some it may look like a cats eye. Hubble Space Telescope NGC 6543.
As we zoom in we see first an image constructed from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 then an image taken by the Nordic Optical Telescope and finally the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope image. Staring across interstellar space the alluring Cats Eye nebula lies three thousand light-years from Earth. This is one of the most complex of the planetary nebulae.
It is estimated to be 1000 years old. A classic planetary nebula the Cats Eye NGC 6543 represents a final. Three thousand light years from Earth the Cats Eye Nebula NGC 6543 is a sight that draws in the human eye.
