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

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!

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

Acercándonos a NGC 6302 Este vídeo se acerca a la nebulosa planetaria 'NGC 6302', comúnmente conocida como Nebulosa de la Mariposa. NGC 6302 se encuentra dentro de nuestra galaxia, la Vía Láctea, a aproximadamente 3800 años luz de distancia, en la constelación de Escorpio. El gas brillante alguna vez formó parte de las capas exteriores de la estrella, pero ha sido expulsado a lo largo de unos 2200 años. La forma de mariposa se extiende a lo largo de más de dos años luz, aproximadamente la mitad
