IC 418: The Spirograph Nebula

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Spirograph Nebula, IC 418, has a strange texture that resembles drawings from a spirograph toy. These patterns are not fully understood. They might be related to chaotic winds from the central star, which changes brightness unpredictably over a few hours. Only a few million years ago, IC 418 was likely a star similar to our Sun.
