While not widely adopted in mainstream astronomy, "ventiloida" has been used in certain niche contexts to describe peculiar features observed in some nebulae or stellar formations.
These objects are typically observed through telescopic imaging and are noted for their elongated, often filament-like
In scientific literature, studies of ventiloida-like structures contribute to understanding astrophysical phenomena such as jet propulsion
Though the term "ventiloida" is not commonly used in current astronomical nomenclature, it occasionally appears in
