Description
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of the Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302). It lies 3800 light years away from Earth in the constellation Scorpius. The glowing gas was once the star's outer layers, but has been expelled over about 2200 years. The butterfly shape stretches for more than two light-years.
