I wonder if that halo is the magnetopause, between the magnetic field of the star at the heart of the small nebula, and the plasma from the larger nebula. They say they are 200 light years away, but if that is the magnetic field, I don’t think it would be visible unless it were interacting with charged particles, causing visible light discharges like we see with the aurora.
