Cat's Eye Nebula Image Imaged With Digitized Sky Survey 2 (Ground Based Image)

Wide-angle photo shows the constellation Scorpius in which the black-hole system GRO J1655-40 is found. On the right is a 4-degree zoom on the area with the black hole. This insert comes from the Digitized Sky Survey II.

An enormous but extremely faint halo of gaseous material surrounds the Cat's Eye Nebula and is over three light-years across. Within the past years some planetary nebulae been found to have halos like this one, likely formed of material...

This two-colour image shows 3.7 x 2.7 degrees of the surroundings around the Pinwheel Galaxy. It was composed from Digitized Sky Survey 2 images.

This image is composited from blue, red and infrared exposures from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 and shows 1.5 x 1.5 degrees centered on galaxy cluster Abell 2218.

The spiral galaxy M81 and the neighbour galaxy M82 are forming a physical pair. A few tens of million years ago, the smaller M82 collided with M81. This gravitational interaction deformed M82 and caused its concentrated burst of star...

The panel is composed of three images with increased magnification. To the left is the Digitized Sky Survey 2 image spanning 1 x 1 degree. In the upper right hand corner is an image taken with the the Nordic Optical Telescope. In the...

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen, NGC 6543, nicknamed the 'Cat's Eye Nebula.' Hubble reveals surprisingly intricate structures including concentric gas shells, jets of high-speed...
