}I review some open questions and other aspects concerning the shaping of planetary nebulae (PNs) and related objects. I attribute the non-spherical structures of PNs to binary companions, stellar or substellar. I emphasize the role of jets (or collimated fast wind: CFW) blown by an accreting stellar companion in shaping PNs and some related objects, and discuss the limited role of magnetic fields. I speculate that some stars which are leaving the asymptotic giant branch, i.e., becoming hotter…

The roughly spherical outer regions and aspherical inner regions of protoplanetary nebulae — here imaged by ALMA — are explained in terms of an embedded binary system with stars on eccentric orbits.

During the last decades, observations, mostly with the Hubble Space Telescope, have revealed that round Planetary Nebulae were the exception rather than rule. A huge variety of features are observed,…
