Simulating the Red Rectangle
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a wealth of new features in
the Red Rectangle that cannot be seen with ground-based telescopes looking
through the Earth's turbulent atmosphere. Whereas the origins of many of the
features in this dying star still remain hidden or even outright mysterious,
some are well explained by theorists like the Dutch scientist Vincent Icke
from Leiden University in the Netherlands.
