Pretty newly discovered nebula

Apr 13, 2007 22:25

The recently discovered 'red square' nebula does live up to its name. Remarkably symmetrical and just oriented right to us that the effect of the hourglass shaped nebula from the dying star does look like a square.

Pity at least one news program has already gotten confused and thinks it's the star itself that is square.

Wonder if it's visible in the observatory's little scopes...
