This is interesting, bystander. Is anything at all known about the mass of the very young star powering the nebula?
It's a nice nebula, in any case. I'd like to think it is blue, although honestly I'm not sure of that (the blue color could be some kind of mapped color). It's fascinating that the shape of the nebula is changing. What about T Tauri, a solar mass (I think) extremely young star? Isn't there a variable nebula associated with it? And there is Hind's variable nebula, which is definitely variable and definitely associated with a very young star. I think, although I'm not sure, that the star associated with Hind's variable nebula is more massive than the Sun.
But now we're talking about this fascinating fan-shaped nebula. Who can resist its name, Gyulbudaghian’s Nebula?
