Blown Glass Cats Eye Nebula Paperweight

Glass Eye Studio
Seattle, Washington

Discovered in 1786 the so-called Cat’s Eye Nebula is located in the constellation of Draco and is one of the most complex of the nebulae. It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium that were ejected by the dying star. The result is the amazing twisted shape, which resembles a cat’s eye. By studying the life of a nebula, astronomers may well be seeing the fate of our Sun, expected to evolve into a nebula in the next 5 billion years.
