The Butterfly Nebula

"The Butterfly Nebula" 

The Butterfly Nebula is a planetary nebula with an hourglass shape that resembles colorful wings. A dying star that was once about five times the mass of the Sun is at its center. This nebula was catalogued as NGC 6302 by the Wide Field Camera 3, a new camera aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. It is located within the Milky Way Galaxy, about 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. NGC 6302 was imaged on July 27, 2009, in ultraviolet and visible light, with filters that isolate emissions of gas coming from the nebula.
