NGC 3918 is in the constellation Centaurus
and is about 3,000 light-years from us. Its diameter is about
0.3 light-year. It shows a roughly spherical outer envelope
but an elongated inner balloon inflated by a fast wind from
the hot central star, which is starting to break out of the
spherical envelope at the top and bottom of the image.
