Henize 3-401: An Elongated Planetary Nebula
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
How do dying stars eject their outer layers? Stars that create elegant planetary nebulas like Henize 3-401 are not unusual, causing speculation that our own Sun may one day look like this. Henize 3-401 is one of the most elongated planetary nebulas yet discovered, a particularly odd feat for a seemingly round star.
