NGC_6543, also known as the Cat's Eye Nebula, is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Draco. It is approximately 3,300 light-years away from Earth and is one of the most studied nebulae due to its complex structure and bright appearance. The nebula was formed when a dying star expelled its outer layers, creating a glowing shell of gas and dust. NGC_6543 features intricate patterns and a central star that is still in the process of shedding its material. Its striking colors and shapes make it a popular target for both amateur and professional astronomers.
