APOD 2008 August 4 X-Rays from the Cat's Eye Nebula
Is it just me, or does it seem as though the central star has a wobble to it's axis, perhaps the magnetic axis and the rotational axis are different? That might account for the spiral appearance of the blasts coming from it. At least that's how the details in the cat's eye nebula look to me.
