I think the “Black Widow Nebula” would be more descriptive (red hourglass, and all that).

Easy to think off this one as manufactured ~ and maybe already going somewhere else.

Eventually somebody will come up with its relative movement in that part of the universe.

The very bright patch in the center looks like someone is cutting the very fabric of the space-time continuum from the outside with an box cutter and letting the light in.

Cheers!

What could cause a nebula to appear square?

Hey, it could happen.
