NGC 1360 is interesting for several reasons:

First, it is one of the few planetary nebulae where an intense stellar magnetic field has been observed. Indeed, the central star of this nebula has an intense magnetic field observed and the fast wind is no longer present, which indicates that a reflux process has probably developed.

Secondly, the nebula shows an elongated morphology and almost without relief, with no apparent glossy edge, no clear inner boundary or central cavity. The absence of a central cavity explains and confirms the absence of fast stellar winds.

Third, This nebula presents a bipolar jet of matter from its host star.

NGC 1360, positioned in the constellation Fornax, unfolds as a planetary nebula, offering a unique astronomical insight into the final stages of stellar evolution. Located approximately 2,000 light-years away, this celestial object showcases a symmetrical structure, characterized by the luminous emission of ionized gases. The central star, concealed within the nebula's brilliance, represents a stellar remnant undergoing a transformative phase, shedding its outer layers into the interstellar medium.
