The Red Rectangle Nebula from Hubble

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Hubble Space Telescope captured the Red Rectangle Nebula, a binary star system surrounded by an unusual X-shaped cloud. This shape is likely due to a thick dust torus that pinches the star's outflow into two cones. We see the torus edge-on, making the cone boundaries appear as an X, with distinct rungs suggesting intermittent outflows.
