Hen 2-437 Planetary Nebula // Stereoscopic illusion using rotational symmetry - Cross-eye
Natural stereoscopic symmetry of Hen 2-437, a planetary nebula in the Vulpecula constellation. Intended for cross-eye viewing.
I make stereo art out of the cosmos. If you enjoy, please consider liking, following and also consider sharing with someone else who loves illusions. We have much more on the horizon!
"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 space. The star itself then slowly shrinks to form a white dwarf, while the expelled gas is slowly compressed and pushed outwards by stellar winds."
"Located within the faint northern constellation of Vulpecula (The Fox), Hen 2-437 was first identified in 1946 by Rudolph Minkowski, who later also discovered the famous and equally beautiful M2-9 (otherwise known as the Twin Jet Nebula)."
