Hourglass Nebula is the 18th Interstellar Object, the 3rd Nebula and the 3rd Planetary obtained in the Beyond (Rank 22), which can generate Stardust 
.
Description[]
"The Hourglass Nebula defies explanation. A small hourglass nests in a large one, but the dead star isn't at the center of either one. Two inner rings circle the eye at right angles. But why? If there’s a binary star, it wouldn’t account for this one-of-a-kind shape."
Traits[]
The rare traits matching this generators type are: Cosmic Dust . Hourglass Nebula is also affected by the epic traits: Cosmology , Dark Matter , Dark Energy . It is also affected by the constellations: Eridanus,Perseus,Ara, as well as by the generator rank.

Off-Center Star | An hourglass could form from swift stellar winds pushing dense clouds at the star’s equator up and down into symmetric shapes. Or a strong magnetic field could sculpt ionized gas into an hourglass. But an off-center star rules out both scenarios. It’s still a mystery. | Generator Unlocked |

Butterfly Nebula | About one in 10 nebulae are bipolar, like the Hourglass, but shapes vary widely. The Butterfly Nebula has wings instead of rings. A very hot dead star at center is jetting out high-speed gas from the poles. The outflows are surprisingly symmetrical, like a mirror image. | Off-Center Star |

Red Rectangle Nebula | The Red Rectangle Nebula is straight edged instead of round or butterfly winged. Why? A pair of stars orbit closely at the center in a gravitational tango. Their tight dance confines the bipolar outflow of gas to four narrow cones in an X shape. | Hourglass Nebula Rank 3 |
|
Ant Nebula | The bipolar Ant Nebula probably has two stars, one of which is very similar to how the Sun will look in about 5 billion years. Skinny “ant legs” at either end stretch its width to 1.5 light years. They are streams of speedy gases zipping easily through slow matter. | Hourglass Nebula Rank 6 |
