A Rather Special Planetary Nebula: NGC 5189

We are continuing our collection of planetary nebulae. This time, it's NGC 5189's.

This nebula, 1800 light-years away, in the southern constellation of the Fly, has a peculiar shape. Its clouds form an S, which is probably the result of disturbances around the white dwarf that occupies the heart of the gas complex.
Other planetary nebulae owe their tormented shape to the fact that a double star system sits at their center. Its dual bipolar or quadrupole structure could be explained by the presence of a second star orbiting the central star and influencing the mass ejection pattern during its nebula-producing agony. The rest of the central star, having lost much of its mass, is now living its last days as a white dwarf. However, there is no visual candidate for the possible companion.
This same object represents the final stage of evolution of a star like the Sun, which, after swelling into a red giant, has released its envelope into space to form a nebula.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
