A composite image made of two images. The image on the left is a 3D model of the Cat's Eye Nebula, a nebula made of tendrils of blue and light orange hued gas. The image on the left is an image of the Cat's Eye Nebula in 2D, imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope.
A side-by-side comparison of the three-dimensional model of the Cat's Eye Nebula created by Clairmont and the Cat's Eye Nebula as photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope.
