An analysis of all the data indicates that the overall shape of E0102 is most likely a cylinder that is viewed end-on rather than a spherical bubble.

I find that very interesting. What would cause a cylindrical rather than spherical expansion in a vacuum?

One hundred fifty light years across - that boggles my mind.

I'm no physicist, but if it's moving through space exploding matter in all directions, wouldn't that form a cylinder?
