    Damn, that is spooky.

    The Engraved Hourglass Nebula (MyCn 18) is a young planetary nebula in the constellation Musca, about 8,000 light-years away. It is the ejected outer layers of a dying star, and its intricate, hourglass-like shape is due to the complex interaction of stellar winds and gas. The nebula is known for its detailed patterns, which have been captured in stunning images by the Hubble Space Telescope
