🦋🐞⠀ @NASAHubble’s full range of imaging capabilities are revealed here in these images of two young planetary nebulas. NGC 6303 is dubbed the Butterfly Nebula because of its wing-like appearance. In addition, NGC 7027 resembles a jewel bug, an insect with a brilliantly colorful metallic shell. The researchers have found unprecedented levels of complexity and rapid changes in jets and gas bubbles blasting off of the stars at the centers of both nebulas. Hubble is allowing the researchers to converge on an understanding of the mechanisms underlying the chaos. Image Credits: NASA, ESA and J. Kastner (RIT)⠀ ⠀ #Space #NASA #Hubble

Thanks to the powerful imaging capabilities of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, NASA has been able to create this magnificent image of NGC 6303, which is also known as the Butterfly Nebula because of its wing-like appearance. They also were able to process this enigmatic image of the NGC 7027, which looks like a bug inside a translucent shell.

Truly breathtaking.
