Bipolar planetary nebula PN Hb 12.[1]

A bipolar nebula is a nebular formation characterized by an axially symmetric bi-lobed appearance. Many planetary nebulae exhibit bipolar structure.

Formation

Though the exact causes of this nebular structure are not known, it may be related to the physical process known as bipolar outflow in which a star ejects highly energetic streams of outflow along both poles. One theory states that these outflows collide with material surrounding the star (either stellar dust, or shells of matter sloughed off in a prior Supernova event).

Examples

Planetary Nebula M2-9, also known as the Twin Jet Nebula or the Wings of a Butterfly Nebula, is an example of a bipolar or two-lobed nebula.
