Cat's Eye Nebula
2011 April 24
First of all I think this is the most appropriately named object thus far. It looks exactly like its name, which is cool. Secondly, this nebula is awesome! It looks stunningly different from others due to its translucent nature and bluish-pinkish hue. What a fascinating picture. This nebula occurs three thousand light years from Earth. It spans half a light year in size and represents the final phase of a sun-like stars life. This very well may be what our Sun will look like in 5 billion years.
Also, Lord of the Rings?
