The distribution of misalignment angles in multipolar planetary nebulae

We measure the projected angle on the plane of the sky between adjacent symmetry axes of tens of multipolar planetary nebulae and find that the distribution of these misalignment angles implies a random three-dimensional angle distribution limited to $\lesssim 60^\circ$. We identify a symmetry axis...
