darkwheeldarkwheelThe Cat's Eye Nebula's missing visible star on GalMap may be intentionally hidden or access-restricted, referencing Sonnet 20's 'sweet black which veils the heavenly eye.' This suggests a celestial object obscured from standard scanners or detection methods.

Cat's Eye nebula lacks a visible star on GalMap. Connection to Sonnet 20's 'sweet black which veils the heavenly eye' suggests the star may be hidden, obscured, or access-restricted.
The Cat's Eye nebula doesn't have a star on GalMap. Could this be a clue, somehow? "As that sweet black which veils the heav'nly eye:" I don't know about sweet black, but it's blue, and the star either isn't there on GalMap because you can't go there, or it is obscured - or hidden beyond a veil. Just so I'm not crazy, is there any other place called "eye" in the galaxy?
Cat's Eye Nebula (planetary nebula with no visible star) references Astrophel & Stella Sonnet 20 line 'As that sweet black which veils the heav'nly eye' - something may be hiding/veiling the central star from observation.
Good ideas, CyberTribe. Cat's Eye has no star - therefore it is impossible to reach. However, this doesn't make any sense - for there to be a planetary nebula there, there must have been some stellar event to create that nebula, which must result in either a neutron star, black hole, or white dwarf - none of which is exists there. NOTHING exists there. Perhaps, referencing A&S Sonnet 20 again, "As that sweet black which veils the heav'nly eye:" Something veils, or hides, the star from us, and the eye is literally the Cat's Eye.
