Hubble telescope give an image of haywire

Hubble telescope provided holistic view of stars gone haywire.

As a nuclear fusion engines, most star live placid lives for hundred s of millions to billions of years. But at the end of their lives they can turn into crazy whirligigs, puffing off shells and jets of hot gas.

NGC 6302 is dubbed the Butterfly Nebula because of it's wing like appearance. It resembles a jewel bug, an insect with a brilliantly colourful metallic shell.

 "The nebula NGC 7027 shows emission at an incredibly large number of different wavelengths, each of which highlights not only a specific chemical element in the nebula, but also the significant, ongoing changes in its structure," said Kastner. The research team also observed the Butterfly Nebula, which is a counterpart to the "jewel bug" nebula: Both are among the dustiest planetary nebulas known and both also contain unusually large masses of gas because they are so newly formed. This makes them a very interesting pair to study in parallel, say researchers.
