4,000 light-years away from the Earth. Located in the constellation Scorpius. There is a bipolar planetary Nebula. This nebula is called NGC 6302. Also known as Bug Nebula or Butterfly Nebula. Its wings span over 3 light-years from its centre. And its surface temperature is about 250,000°C.
According to Astronomers. NGC 6302 has a binary star system in its centre. At some point the two stars ran out of its fuel. And the core of the stars collapsed in on itself. The result was two opposing jets racing away. These jets are surrounded by dense, hot gas & dust. And creating the wings like the butterfly.
