COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cat's Eye Nebula, NGC 6543, is a planetary nebula about three thousand light-years from Earth. It is the final, brief phase in the life of a sun-like star. The dying central star has shed its outer layers in a series of convulsions, creating the concentric shells of dust seen here. This nebula is over half a light-year across.
