Description

This object is a twisting dumbbell-shaped emission nebula located in the constellation of Orion. It has an apparent size similar to our full moon. The Ha signal is very faint and there is no OIII signal.

I could find very little information on this mysterious object. I am intrigued on how something with this type of shape could be formed. Hopefully scientists will be able to discover the source of this object in the coming years.
