Nicknamed the <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_3132" linkindex="9" set="yes">Eight-Burst Nebula</A> and the Southern <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060625.html" linkindex="10">Ring Nebula</A>, the glowing gas originated in the <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010301.html" linkindex="11">outer layers</A> of a star like our <A href="http://www.nineplanets.org/sol.html" linkindex="12">Sun</A>. In this <A href="http://heritage.stsci.edu/1998/39/supplemental.html" linkindex="13">representative color picture</A>, the hot blue pool of light seen surrounding this <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap970219.html" linkindex="14">binary system</A> is energized by the hot surface of the faint star. Although <A href="http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1998/39/image/a/" linkindex="15">photographed to explore</A> unusual symmetries, it's the asymmetries that help make this <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/planetary_nebulae.html" linkindex="16">planetary nebula</A> so intriguing. Neither the unusual shape of the surrounding cooler shell nor the structure and placements of the cool filamentary <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020703.html" linkindex="17">dust lanes</A> running across <A href="http://heritage.stsci.edu/1998/39/index.html" linkindex="18">NGC 3132</A> are well understood. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/649A8AF8-1571-45E0-AD5B-F42EBEB60DFB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
