IC 4406: A Seemingly Square Nebula

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

IC 4406 is a planetary nebula that appears square, but it's likely a cylinder seen from a specific angle. Hot gas streams from the cylinder's ends, while dark dust and molecular gas form its walls. The central star, now a white dwarf, created this intricate structure. This nebula challenges our perceptions of stellar death.
