NGC 2346: A Butterfly-Shaped Planetary Nebula

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

NGC 2346, a planetary nebula, is larger than our solar system, shaped by the interaction of a binary star system. The two stars at its heart orbit each other every sixteen days, shedding gas and dust into this butterfly-like structure. This process began millions of years ago, as one star expanded and engulfed its companion.
