X-rays From The Cat's Eye
The Cat's Eye Nebula, NGC 6543, displays haunting patterns of gas expelled from a dying, Sun-like star. This composite image combines Hubble's optical view with X-ray data from the Chandra Observatory. The X-ray emission reveals surprisingly intense activity within the nebula, located about 3,000 light-years away.
