Composite image of the Boomerang Nebula: ALMA observations (orange) showing the hourglass-shaped outflow, which is embedded inside a roughly round ultra-cold outflow; the hourglass outflow stretches more than 1.9 trillion miles from end to end, and is the result of a jet that is being fired by the central star, sweeping up the inner regions of the ultra-cold outflow like a snow-plow; the ultra-cold outflow is about 10 times bigger. The ALMA data are shown on top of an image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (blue). Image credit: ALMA / ESO / NAOJ / NRAO / NASA / ESA / Hubble / AUI / NSF.
