Hubble Space Telescope Captures Stunning Cat’s Eye Nebula
- The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of the Cat's Eye Nebula, also known as NGC 6543, a complex remnant of a dying star located 4,400 light-years away in Draco.
- Planetary nebulae, like the Cat's Eye Nebula, are expanding gases from stars at the end of their life cycles, initially mistaken for planets due to their round appearance.
- The Cat's Eye Nebula was key in 1864 to discovering planetary nebulae emit light from gases, distinguishing them from stars and galaxies through their light spectrum.
- The new image showcases the nebula's intricate multilayered structure and its place in the universe.
