I thought of giving it a shot at processing this magnificent stellar explosion. The preprocessed data are available on the Chandra site. I used the classical optical palette assignment : 502 N Blue, 505N Green and 658 Red while mixing the X-ray data with the Red channel instead of the Magenta that is usually used (the data isn't in the visible so it's a false color). Interestingly the the Chandra site mentions that diffuse X-ray emission are seen in about 30% of the planetary nebulas in the…

This composite of data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope is a new look for NGC 6543, better known as the Cat's Eye nebula. This famous object is a so-called planetary nebula that represents a phase of stellar evolution that the Sun should experience several billion years from now.
