Two large bipolar bubbles emanating from the OH/IR star OH0739-14 have been discovered. Interference filter images show that the bubbles are emission-line objects, and longslit spectra reveal that the bubbles are expanding, with a radial velocity-difference between the bubblefronts of over 200 km/sec.
