Two wings of the planetary nebula, Hen 2-437, appear in stunning symmetry; their icy blue contours fanning out from either side of the stellar phenomenon.
According to NASA, "Planetary nebulae such as Hen 2-437 form when an aging low-mass star — such as the sun — reaches the final stages of life. The star swells to become a red giant, before casting off its gaseous outer layers into spa
