This is a zoom-in of Euclid’s Deep Field North, showing the Cat’s Eye Nebula in the center of the image, around 3000 light-years away. Also known as NGC 6543, this nebula is a visual ‘fossil record’ of the dynamics and late evolution of a dying star. This dying star is shedding its outer colorful shells.
