About Cat’s Eye Nebula:
According to a blog published by NASA, the Cat's Eye Nebula, also known as NGC 6543, is a “visual ‘fossil record’ of the dynamics and late evolution of a dying star. It is estimated to be 1,000 years old”.
Hubble observations revealed the intricate structures of the nebula back in 1994. The images of this cosmic object taken by the space telescope show “bull's-eye pattern of eleven or more concentric rings” around the Cat’s Eye.
