The Cat's Eye Nebula in Optical and X-ray
The Cat's Eye Nebula, NGC 6543, is a planetary nebula, the expelled outer layers of a dying star. This image combines visible light and X-ray data, revealing its complex structure. The central star, a white dwarf, sheds its material in a series of pulses. This creates the intricate concentric shells seen around it.
