What you are seeing here is the bizarre shape of the debris shot out of a star called HD 61005 after it has been warped by solar winds. This star garbage explosion could eventually form planets with strange orbits.
According to Space.com:
The inner, yellow portion of HD 61005’s disk spans 5.4 billion miles, or about the width of Neptune’s orbit in our own solar system. The outer portions are warped by the interstellar wind. This false-color Hubble view masks the star’s direct light to bring out detail in the disk.
