Hubble sees a more holistic view of the Butterfly Nebula or NGC 6302
Hubble was recently retrained on NGC 6302, known as the "Butterfly Nebula," to observe it across a more complete spectrum of light, from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared, helping researchers better understand the mechanics at work in its technicolor "wings" of gas. The "wings" of NGC 6302 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. NGC 6302 lies between 2,500 and 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.

Through hardships, to the stars 🌌
My proudest shot.
By: @emspectrumimaging
Me and my favorite humans embarked on an adventure to moab to camp for 4 days. I came out here with an idea of what I wanted to do, see, and accomplish. I had no idea how blown away I would be, and how much I needed this. We spent the day hiking and swimming in the most beautiful watering hole I've ever seen, checked out the colorado river, and saw the most vivid sunset in the middle of a giant Arch. All smiles, awestruck by the beauty of it all. Once nightfall rolled around, we packed up a bunch of gear and went back to the arches for some astrophotography under the Arches, a bucket list I've had for sooo long. The experience was so surreal, we had the entire park to ourselves and stayed till 4AM because it was just SO FUCKIN FUN AND BEAUTIFUL. Incredibly grateful to have the greatest people in my life who are always down to pack up and venture out into the unknown. Y'all support my crazy visions and I'll love you forever for that.
