The Cat's Eye Nebula (NGC 6543), seen in detail by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen in space. Although the rings may be the key to explaining the final ‘gasp’ of the dying central star, the mystery behind the Cat’s Eye Nebula’s nested ‘Russian doll’ structure remains largely ...
9 de sept. de 2004 · The nebula, formally cataloged NGC 6543, is every bit as inscrutable as the J.R.R. Tolkien phantom character. Though the Cat's Eye Nebula was one of the first planetary nebulae to be discovered, it is one of the most complex such nebulae seen in space. A planetary nebula forms when Sun-like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers that ...
23 de mar. de 2008 · The full beauty of the Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) is revealed in this new, detailed view from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The image from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) shows a bull’s eye pattern of eleven or even more concentric rings, or shells, around the Cat’s Eye. Each ‘ring’ is actually the edge […]
11 de ene. de 1995 · This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image shows one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen, NGC 6543, nicknamed the "Cat's Eye Nebula." Hubble reveals surprisingly intricate structures including concentric gas shells, jets of high-speed gas and unusual shock-induced knots of gas. Estimated to be 1,000 years old, the nebula is a visual ...

9 de sept. de 2004 · The Cat's Eye Nebula, also known as NGC 6543, is a visual "fossil record" of the dynamics and late evolution of a dying star. It is estimated to be 1,000 years old. In 1994, initial Hubble observations revealed the nebula's surprisingly intricate structures, including gas shells, jets of high-speed gas, and unusual shock-induced knots of gas ...
Cat's Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) Cats may have nine lives, but this star only has one and here it is caught in its death throes, causing this ejection of glowing gases into outer space over a thousand years ago. NGC 6543 is 3000 light-years away in the northern constellation Draco. Taken by the Wide Field and Planetary Camera on board NASA/ESA's ...
