Stunning image of the bipolar emission nebula NGC 6164-5, illuminated by the hot, massive star HD 148937 at its center. The nebula's symmetrical shape, possibly sculpted by stellar winds and magnetic fields, is highlighted against a backdrop of distant stars. Cometary knots of gas are visible in the lower left. This celestial object is located approximately 4,000 light-years away in the Norma constellation and spans four light-years across.

Stunning image of the emission nebula NGC 6164, showcasing its striking bipolar shape. A massive central star, HD 148937, emits ultraviolet light, heating the surrounding gas and creating this breathtaking cosmic display. The nebula's intricate structure, spanning four light years, is possibly shaped by the star's magnetic field and past interactions with a companion star. Located 3600 light years away in the Norma constellation.
