Planetary Nebula (Version Two, Purple)

A subtly transparent, colorful hourglass shape has a central point that is a white circle surrounded by bright, white haze. Extending outward from the center in opposite directions are plums of color that form the hourglass shape. The central part of each plume  starts as an icy, light blue and fades upward into a purple color and outward into red. White dots representing stars speckle the image.
