Description

The Spiral Planetary Nebula (NGC 5189) in the constellation of Musca is a nice structured, and larger size planetary nebula. The spiral shape of this nebula is believed to be due to the core being driven by a binary star pair, a White Dwarf orbiting a Wolf-Rayet star in a tight 4 day orbit
