Zooming into The Buttefly Nebula This video zooms into the planetary nebula NGC 6302, commonly known as the Butterfly Nebula. NGC 6302 lies within our Milky Way galaxy, roughly 3,800 light-years away in the constellation of Scorpius. The glowing gas was once the star's outer layers, but has been expelled over about 2,200 years. The butterfly shape stretches for more than two light-years, which is about half the distance from the Sun to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri. Credit: European Space A

Journey to The Butterfly Nebula | Hubble/Webb/ALMA Views FriendsofNASA.org: This video takes the viewer on a journey through space to the Butterfly Nebula, also called NGC 6302. The Butterfly Nebula, located about 3400 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius, is one of the best-studied planetary nebulae in our galaxy. The first image that is revealed in this video highlights the bipolar nature of the Butterfly Nebula in optical and near-infrared light captured by the NASA/European Space A

NGC 6302: The Butterfly Nebula

A butterfly in the stars 🦋 The Butterfly Nebula, also known as NGC 6302, was created by a dying star casting off its outer layers of material. The "wings" are regions of gas heated to more than 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit that are tearing across space at more than 600,000 miles an hour!

Zoom in! 🦋 We saw the Butterfly Nebula for the first time in 2009 with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. This year, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope got an up-close view. Webb’s infrared data, supplemented by radio data from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) specifically looks at the central region of the nebula, between the “wings,” and the complex structure of the gas and dust that surrounds it. The Butterfly Nebula is unique because it’s a planetary nebula, but doesn’t look h

The Cosmic Butterfly Nebula — A Dying Star’s Final Masterpiece ✨🦋 | 4K Space Cinematic” The universe has revealed one of its most breathtaking sights — the Cosmic Butterfly Nebula, captured by the Gemini South telescope in Chile. Located 2,500–3,800 light-years away in Scorpius, this glowing nebula was formed when a dying white dwarf star shed its outer layers, creating vast, fiery wings of gas and dust. Its symmetry, colors, and structure make it one of the most visually stunning examples of a

Listen to the “sounds” of the Butterfly Nebula cascade off its wings! The Butterfly Nebula, created by a dying star, was captured by Hubble in this spectacular image. The nebula’s dying central star has become exceptionally hot, shining ultraviolet light brightly over the butterfly’s wings and causing the gas to glow. In this sonification, scientists have used strings and synthetic tones to represent the nebula in sound. Stars are assigned the digital harp, while its tilted hour-glass figure is
