Cat's Head nebula is NOT a separate nebula. It's a small pillar of dust INSIDE the big *Carina Nebula*.
- Distance: *7,500 light-years* from Earth.
*Why called Cat's Head?*
- It looks like a *cat sitting with its back to us, head turned right*.!!!!
- Long dark body = cat's back and tail
- Top rounded part = head with 2 small ears
- *Red glowing dot = Cat's eye!* That eye is actually a *baby star* born inside dust.!!!!
*How it formed?*
- Nearby there are super big stars (Eta Carinae - 5 million times brighter than Sun).
- Their strong UV light and wind blew away light dust, but dense dust stayed - carved into cat shape.
- It's temporary - after some lakh years, it will break and vanish.
