Now here's where the Bat Shadow comes in. The star's debris ring is too small and distant to be seen by Hubble, but the disk casts monster shadows onto the nebula. The two cone-like shadows in the upper right of the image are known as the Bat Shadow thanks to the wing-like appearance. It's as close as we'll get to seeing a Bat-Signal among the stars.
"This is an analog of what the solar system looked like when it was only 1 or 2 million years old," said Klaus Pontoppidan, a Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) astronomer. "For all we know, the solar system once created a shadow like this."
