    File:NGC 6543 outer halo.jpg. The Cat's Eye Nebula is a planetary nebula, formed when a star like the sun ejected its outer layers at the end of its life.Long exposure images reveal several distinct episodes of mass loss from the star, with the inner bright nebula surrounded by smooth concentric rings, in turn surrounded by a giant shell of clumpy gas

    Nebulium was a proposed element found in astronomical observation of a nebula by William Huggins in 1864. The strong green emission lines of the Cat's Eye Nebula, discovered using spectroscopy, led to the postulation that an as yet unknown element was responsible for this emission. In 1927, Ira Sprague Bowen showed that the lines are emitted by ...
