Cat’s Paw Nebula or NGC 6334. This glowing nebula resembles a gigantic pawprint of a celestial cat out on an errand across the Universe. This complex region of gas and dust, where numerous massive stars are born, lies near the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, about 5500 light-years away. It covers an area on the sky slightly larger than the full Moon. The whole gas cloud is about 50 light-years across.

The lithium-ion batteries—which weigh 880 pounds—are located just in front of the rear axle, and the car is said to weigh a total of 2976 pounds, or roughly 200 more than the similarly sized Tesla Roadster. Audi claims a 40/60 weight distribution and a 0-to-62-mph time of 5.9 seconds. Top speed is limited to 124 mph. By comparison, the Tesla is much quicker; we’ve clocked the Sport version to 60 mph in four seconds flat, although its top speed is 122 mph. The Detroit e-tron is said to have a cruising range of 155 miles on a full charge, which takes 11 hours with a 230-volt current or just two hours if you can manage to find a special 400-volt charging station.
