Cat's Eye
The Cat's Eye Nebula, NGC 6543, is a planetary nebula located 3,000 light-years from Earth. It represents a final, brief stage in the life of a Sun-like star. The dying central star shed its outer layers in a series of convulsions, creating the concentric shells seen in the outer regions. The complex inner structures are still not fully understood.
