Description

This tiny but beautiful Planetary Nebula is located in the Constellation Musca. 
Because of it's vague "S" shape it was thought to be a barred spiral galaxy but the discovery of a binary star and more recent measurements have determined that the S shaped ionized regions are moving outward in opposite directions.
