SPACE SCIENCE PLANETARY NEBULA

This undated new ESO Very Large Telescope image provided by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) on 08 November 2012 shows the planetary nebula Fleming 1 in the constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur). Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have discovered a pair of stars orbiting each other at the centre of one of the most remarkable examples of a planetary nebula. The new result confirms a long-debated theory about what controls the spectacular and symmetric appearance of the material flung out into space. The results are published in the 09 November 2012 issue of the journal Science. This striking object is a glowing cloud of gas around a dying star. New observations have shown that it is likely that a very rare pair of white dwarf stars lies at the heart of this object. Their orbital motions can fully explain the remarkably symmetric structures of the jets in the surrounding gas clouds in this and similar objects, ESO said in its media release.
