We present observational evidence that NGC 6543 produced a jet of cosmic rays that irradiated the Earth recorded as cosmogenic10Be found ice cores. This identification shows that the jet was accompanied by a magnetic field of sufficient strength to travel 220pc and retain evidence of the celestial coordinates of the source object.
