The Red Spider Nebula (also catalogued as NGC 6537) is a planetary nebula located some 4,000 light years away from Sol. The nebula has a prominent two-lobed shape, possibly due to a binary companion or magnetic fields and has an ‘S’-shaped symmetry of the lobes – the lobes opposite each other appear similar. This is believed to be due to the presence of a companion to the central white dwarf. However, the gas walls of the two lobed structures are not at all smooth, but rather are rippled in a complex way.
In the 21st century it was widely believed the nebula had a White Dawrf in its heart, producing a powerful and hot solar wind blowing with a speed of 300 kilometers per second. These winds would have given this nebula its unique 'spider' shape and also contributed to the expansion of the nebula. In the 34th century however, explorers were thus unable to locate any stellar object inside the nebula at all.
