Bipolar Nebula
A bipolar nebula is a type of nebula characterized by two lobes either side of a central star. About 10-20% of planetary nebulae are bipolar. Formation Though the exact causes of this nebular structure are not known, it is often thought to imply the presence of a binary central star with a period of a few days to a few years. As one of the two stars expelled its outer layers, the other disrupted the outflow of material to form the bipolar shape. Examples * Homunculus Nebula around Eta Carinae * Hubble 5 * M2-9 – The Wings of a Butterfly Nebula * OH231.8+4.2 – The Calabash Nebula or Rotten Egg Nebula * Mz3 (or Menzel 3) – The Ant Nebula * CRL 618 - The Westbrook Nebula * CRL 2688 – The Egg Nebula * HD 44179 – The Red Rectangle Nebula * MyCn18 – The Engraved Hourglass Nebula * – The Southern Crab Nebula * The Boomerang Nebula * NGC 2346 – Also known as the Butterfly Nebula * KjPn 8 Nebula – The largest (in angular size) bipolar planetary nebula.
