The Cat's Eye Nebula

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Three thousand light-years away, a dying star sheds layers of glowing gas, forming the Cat's Eye Nebula. This Hubble Space Telescope image reveals its intricate structure, one of the most complex planetary nebulae known. Astronomers suspect the central object might be a binary star system. The term 'planetary nebula' is a misnomer, as these objects are not planets.
