If we're going to talk about an X, I'd rather talk about this one: the wonderfully weird Red Rectangle nebula, located 2300 light years away in the constellation Monoceros.

@coreyspowell Yeah, that's a good idea.

... WTF is up with that nebula? That is not a normal shape for a space thing. Why the diagonal jets? Are they jets? What's at the center? Spinning neutron star? What is going on here?
