Gomez's Hamburger: A Proto-Planetary Nebula
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
What is that thing? Sometimes astronomers see things in the sky they do not immediately understand. This object, Gomez's Hamburger, was identified as a proto-planetary nebula, a gas cloud emitted by a Sun-like star just after its central hydrogen fuel has all been fused to helium. It is on its way to becoming a full-fledged planetary nebula.
