This instrument is optimized for taking very sharp images of fine details in a small area, such as the complex features at the heart of the Cat\u2019s Eye Nebula. The data reveal a tapestry of concentric shells, jets of high-speed gas and dense knots sculpted by shock interactions, features that appear almost surreal in their intricacy. These structures are believed to record episodic mass loss from the dying star at the nebula\u2019s center, creating a kind of cosmic \u201cfossil record\u201d of its final evolutionary stages. Part of these data were also used in a previous image of the Cat\u2019s Eye Nebula, released in 2004. Previously unused data from ACS is combined with state-of-the-art image processing to create this new image, the sharpest yet taken of this nebula.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-credits\">ESA\/Hubble &#038; NASA, Z.

This ring was ejected from the star at an earlier stage, before the main nebula at the center formed. Hubble captures the very core of the billowing gas with high-resolution visible-light images, adding extra detail in the center of this image.

The data reveal a tapestry of concentric shells, jets of high-speed gas and dense knots sculpted by shock interactions, features that appear almost surreal in their intricacy. These structures are believed to record episodic mass loss from the dying star at the nebula\u2019s center, creating a kind of cosmic \u201cfossil record\u201d of its final evolutionary stages.<\/p>\n<p>Combining the focused view of Hubble with Euclid\u2019s deep field observations not only highlights the nebula\u2019s exquisite structure but also places it within the broader context of the universe that both space telescopes explore.

A blue star sits at the center within a series of overlapping, translucent bubbles of gas. The bubbles have a complex, filamentary structure. The two largest bubbles overlap halfway, creating an eye-like shape with the star at the center. Jets of high-speed gas point out of the top and bottom of the nebula. Faint, concentric circles of gas also surround the star, out beyond the bubbles.\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=1546&#038;h=1608&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1546w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=288&#038;h=300&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 288w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=768&#038;h=799&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 768w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=985&#038;h=1025&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 985w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=1477&#038;h=1536&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1477w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=385&#038;h=400&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 385w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=577&#038;h=600&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 577w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=865&#038;h=900&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 865w, https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif?w=1154&#038;h=1200&#038;fit=crop&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1154w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1546px) 100vw, 1546px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-col-8 desktop:grid-col-10 padding-left-3 desktop:padding-left-0\">\n<div class=\"grid-row flex-align-center\">\n<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6\">\n<h2 class=\"heading-36 margin-0\">Hubble Image of the Cat\u2019s Eye Nebula 2026<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6\">\n<p class=\"p-md margin-0 color-carbon-black\">Download a 14.3 MB Tiff (1546 X 1608) of Hubble\u2019s latest image of the Cat\u2019s Eye Nebula.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-col-2 desktop:grid-col-1 display-flex flex-justify-end\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/content\/dam\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_CatsEye_2026_FullsizeOriginal_potm2602b.tif\"  aria-label=\"\" class=\"link-external-true\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                            <svg class=\"hds-featured-link-list-button margin-left-auto margin-right-0\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\">\n                                <circle class=\"color-nasa-red\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path>\n                            <\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-row padding-y-2 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-30-important\">\n<div class=\"grid-row featured-link-list-row width-full flex-align-center\">\n<div class=\"grid-col-2 desktop:grid-col-1 tablet:padding-right-3 desktop:padding-right-5\">\n<div class=\"width-full\">\n<div class=\"hds-cover-wrapper width-full ratio-1x1 radius-pill overflow-hidden\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-background  \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"4000\" height=\"2195\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/missions\/hubble\/nebulae\/planetary\/cats_eye_2026\/Hubble_Euclid_CatsEye_2026_PubTiff_4K_potm2602c.tif?w=4000&#038;h=2195&#038;%23038;fit=clip&#038;%23038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"A planetary nebula in space.
