From the media: Shaping planetary nebulae with planets (September 2015)

September 23, 2015 //  by Noam Soker

 In a superb  course in astronoThe elliptical planetary nebulae NGC 6826 (the colors are not real)my, Phil Plait lectures in a series of tens of 12-minutes long episodes on all topics of astronomy. In episode #30, White Dwarfs & Planetary Nebulae: Crash Course Astronomy #30, he mentions (7:20 minutes) my idea that many planetary nebulae might be shaped by planets.  

Phil Plait was my master student (University of Virginia, 1990), and we studied the planetary nebula NGC 6826 seen here.
