The Cat's Eye Nebula in Optical and X-ray
The Cat's Eye Nebula is one of the brightest planetary nebulae, formed from gas expelled by a dying Sun-like star. Its central star likely created the outer concentric shells by shedding layers. The inner structures, however, are more complex and symmetrical.
