The study of the morphology of planetary nebula (PN) is fundamental for addressing several questions in the context of stellar evolution. An AGB star can loose most of its mass due to strong stellar winds. Kwok et al. (1978) proposed that the interaction of a low-density fast wind with a high-density slow wind, will form the PN. This model can account for the round observed PNe with a great degree of symmetry. However as we will see later, round PNe are not the most common ones. Therefore a mechanism for causing asymmetry has to be invoked. Several processes have been proposed by different authors.
