Caption

Model of the WR 112 nebula from a face-on viewing angle (left) and the observed viewing angle (right). The dashed lines illustrate the motion of the central binary orbit, where the separation of the central binary and size of each star is not shown to scale. Each panel has its own accompanying animation that shows the revolution of the spiral in both viewing angles.
