NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The dim star, not the bright one, near the center of NGC 3132 created this planetary nebula. Nicknamed the Eight-Burst Nebula, this glowing gas originated from a star like our Sun. The hot, faint star energizes the blue light seen around this binary system. This image, while exploring symmetries, highlights the nebula's complex and beautiful asymmetries.
