feline friends - "The Cat's Eye Nebula" is one of the most complex
"planetary nebulae" known. It is so complex that astronomers suspect the
central star may actually be a double star system. The Cat's Eye Nebula is
three thousand light-years away from us*.

*A light-year is the distance that light travels in one
year. Light moves at a velocity of around 300,000 kilometres per second.
That means it can travel about ten trillion km in one year. Therefore one
light-year is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometres.
1,000 metres = 1 kilometre. 1 kilometre = 0.6214 miles.
