Nebula

The Cat’s Eye Nebula is a “planetary nebula”, created when a dying, Sun-sized star ejects its outer layers of gas into space. This Nebula will be visible until its gas dissipates into space over the course of about 10,000 years. (hubble site) The Cat’s eye shows a certain symmetry and beauty in its color, light and formation. Looking at these “gas balls” that are the beginnings of endings of a planet , fascinates me. Our very own planet began much like this, a gas ball, that over time formed into planet earth.To see more of these natural phenomenon go to: http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/nebula_collection/. These photos taken from space, inspire me to create effects with light and create interesting color palettes in my work.
