HD 44179, "Red Rectangle"

Well here is an interesting looking object:

HD 44179, Courtesy of ESA/Hubble and NASA, note that colors are synthetic.

By the way, here are links to the original image as I found it, which the forum won't accept for upload at it's full size and resolution, as well as SC's article about it:

Try as I might, I can't make sense of this as some bi-conical thing viewed in perspective.

I'm interested what anyone else may observe in this image, of course particularly from the perspective of electric discharge, etc.
