IC 418: The Spirograph Nebula
The Spirograph Nebula, IC 418, shows patterns that are not well understood, possibly related to chaotic winds from its variable central star. This planetary nebula was likely a star similar to our Sun a few million years ago. Its central star changes brightness unpredictably in just a few hours.
