Well, it seems to be a torus to me, and would make sense in terms of physics.
I cant figure this out; so we're looking at a disc that presents face on to us, but the polar jets we see are are also extending laterally?
An equitorial torus would make sense, but a pole to pole torus?
Or is it a gas shell that just appears denser at the edges.
