A striking near-infrared image of the planetary nebula NGC 6072 reveals an intricate network of outflows extending in multiple directions from the dying star at its core. Astronomers think that at least one other star is interacting with the material ejected by the central star, creating the planetary nebula’s unusual shape. (Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, N.
