None of the world's experts know what the strange spiral structure is:

The huge spiral spans about a third of a light year across and, winding four or five complete turns, has a regularity that has never been observed before.

The image was taken in near-infrared light by the Hubble Space Telescope.

"NASA astronomers think it is related to a star in a binary star system entering the planetary nebula phase, when its outer atmosphere is ejected".

Kind of looks as if we are looking down the barrel of a wormhole from the show "Stargate". If you squint, you can even imagine the path of the wormhole curving off to the right behind or into the bright light(star?).
