Caption: Fig. 3.

Contour map of the H2 ﹩v=1\rightarrow 0﹩ S(1) (2.122 μm) emission of the core of KjPn 8 is shown overlaid on the [S II] HST image of the core of KjPn 8 where the central star is apparent. The H2 emission surrounds and shares the morphology and orientation of the ionized ring, as also does a larger CO disk (see Fig. 1b) confirming a second heavy mass‐loss episode in KjPn 8. Coordinates are J2000 and as in Fig. 2.
