The Red Rectangle Nebula from Hubble
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
The Red Rectangle Nebula, imaged by Hubble, has an unusual shape. An aging binary star system at its center powers the nebula, but its colors are still a mystery. The nebula's distinct rungs suggest the outflow of material occurs in fits and starts. Its X-shape is likely due to a thick dust torus pinching the outflow into cone shapes.
