NGC 6164: A Bipolar Emission Nebula
NASA APOD · Gemini Obs.
COSMIC MESSAGE
NGC 6164-5 is a bipolar emission nebula formed by an unusually massive star, HD 148937, nearing the end of its life. The star's intense ultraviolet light heats the surrounding gas, which was likely thrown off by the star itself. This expelled material might have been channeled by the star's magnetic field, creating the nebula's distinct two-lobed structure.
