Is it just me, or does that south polar region look very similar to Saturn's Hexagon?

Re: APOD: Planetary Nebula Abell 7 (2013 Dec 05)

If the white dwarf of Abell 7 is 10 billion years old, is that the age of it's dwarfness (ie the age of the planetary nebula) or the age of it's first stellar evolution?

Beautiful indeed. Based on the date of the picture the North pole must be in shadow which makes me wonder what are the two land masses that can be seen. Do you or anyone else know the global orientation in this shot?
