📸 Planetary Nebula Mz3: The Ant Nebula
Why is this nebula shaped like an ant? Mz3 is formed by gas expelled from a dying star. It might be shaped by a close companion star or powerful magnetic fields. The central star is similar to our Sun, offering a glimpse at our solar system's future.📅 APOD – July 13, 2025
