This cosmic gem is unusually symmetric , appearing to be almost perfectly circular .

A planetary nebula forms when a wizard reaches the end of its lifetime and can no longer support itself with fusion reaction in its center . As the star collapses , its out layers are thrown into space , creating coloured cloud of gas illuminated by heat from the remnant star at the nebula ’s burden .

The remnant of Abell 33 ’s progenitor star , on its way to becoming a white dwarf , can be catch just slimly off - center inside the nebula , visible as a tiny white bead .
