Cat's Eye Nebula Hubble
In this detailed view from NASA s Hubble Space Telescope the so-called Cats Eye Nebula looks like the penetrating eye of the disembodied sorcerer Sauron from the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.
Cat's eye nebula hubble. The Cats Eye Nebula from Hubble. The Cats Eye Nebula was the first nebula to have its chemical composition measured. To some it may look like a cats eye.
It is estimated to be 1000 years old. Hubble Space Telescope image taken in 2004. Zooming on the Cats Eye Nebula Hubble observes the sky in the direction of the constellation of Draco the Dragon where the Cats Eye Nebula is located.

Although the rings may be the key to explaining the final gasp of the dying central star the mystery behind the Cats Eye Nebulas nested Russian doll structure remains largely. Hubble Space Telescope NGC 6543. In this detailed view from NASAs Hubble Space Telescope the so-called Cats Eye Nebula looks like the penetrating eye of the disembodied sorcerer Sauron from the film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings The nebula formally cataloged NGC 6543 is every bit as inscrutable as the JRR.
Staring across interstellar space the alluring Cats Eye nebula lies three thousand light-years from Earth. Cats Eye Hubble Remix. NASA ESA HEIC and The Hubble Heritage Team STScIAURA Explanation.
The HST images seem to indicate that the central star is actually a binary system and that the nebula we see today is actually the result of at least two separate events. The Hubble Space Telescope has observed about 100 of these objects starting with the Cats Eye nebula in 1994. The Cats Eye Nebula formally catalogued as NGC 6543 and seen here in this detailed view from the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen in space.
