Hubble and Euclid zoom into cosmic eye
For this month's ESA/Hubble Picture of the Month, NASA/ESA's Hubble Space Telescope is joined by ESA's Euclid to create a new view of the most visually intricate remnants of a dying star: the Cat's Eye Nebula, also known as NGC 6543. This extraordinary planetary nebula in the constellation Draco has captivated astronomers for decades with its elaborate and multilayered structure. Observations with ESA's Gaia mission place the nebula at a distance of about 4,300 light-years.
