Fast Low-Ionization Emission Region or FLIER is the name for volumes of gas with low ionization near the symmetry axis of many planetary nebulae. Red in color they bolt out from planetary nebulae clouds of ejected material from sunlike old stars in the process of dying and exploding at supersonic speeds. The Blinking Planetary features a set of FLIERs squirting horizontally from the nebula.
