      Explanation: Nebulas are perhaps as famous for being identified with   
      familiar shapes as perhaps cats are for getting into trouble. Still, no   
      known cat could have created the vast Cat's Paw Nebula visible toward   
      the constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius. At 5,500 light years   
      distant, Cat's Paw is an emission nebula with a red color that   
      originates from an abundance of ionized hydrogen atoms. Alternatively   
      known as the Bear Claw Nebula and cataloged as NGC 6334, stars nearly   
      ten times the mass of our Sun have been born there in only the past few   
      million years. Pictured here is a deep field image of the Cat's Paw   
      Nebula in light emitted by hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.
