Cat's Eye Nebula Hubble
Technical info from NASA Hubble Space project Data acquisition.
Cat's eye nebula hubble. The Hubble Space Telescope has observed about 100 of these objects starting with the Cats Eye nebula in 1994. 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. It is estimated to be 1000 years old.
Staring across interstellar space the alluring Cats Eye nebula lies three thousand light-years from Earth. NASA ESA HEIC and The Hubble Heritage Team STScIAURA Explanation. The Cats Eye Nebula from Hubble Credit.
The alluring Cats Eye nebula however lies three thousand light-years from Earth across interstellar space. In this detailed view from the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope the so-called Cats Eye Nebula looks like the penetrating eye of the disembodied sorcerer Sauron from the film adaptation of Lord of the Rings The nebula formally catalogued NGC 6543 is every bit as inscrutable as the JRR. The alluring Cats Eye nebula however lies three thousand light-years from Earth across interstellar space.
In this image from the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope numerous bubbles are visible. To some it may look like a cats eye. The Hubble images show that from 1994 to 2004 the Cats Eye Nebula has expanded.
A classic planetary nebula the Cats Eye NGC 6543 represents a final. 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 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.
Staring across interstellar space the alluring Cats Eye Nebula lies 3000 light-years from Earth. 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. Hubble Space Telescope image taken in 2004.
