**MyCn 18 (Hourglass Nebula) – Stylized Cosmic Phenomenon** This model is inspired by MyCn 18, also known as the Hourglass Nebula—a young planetary nebula formed from the remnants of a dying star. The structure is shaped by powerful stellar winds and focused jets of gas, creating its iconic narrow waist and symmetrical, expanding lobes. The design emphasizes the nebula’s dramatic geometry, radiant core, and layered plasma clouds, capturing both its scientific beauty and surreal, otherworldly appearance. The goal was to translate this real astronomical phenomenon into a visually striking and readable 3D form.
