One image is of the Planetary Nebula NGC 6302 (sometimes commonly called the Butterfly Nebula), which is a bipolar planetary nebula (like two wings of a butterfly) within the constellation Scorpius.
NGC 6302 is described on the NASA website as a celestial object that “looks like a delicate butterfly. But it is far from serene.”
The shape that looks like butterfly wings is really “... rolling cauldrons of gas heated to more than 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit.” [or 19,430 degrees Celsius]
Many more equally exciting and dramatic images of our universe appear on this NASA website.
Take a look and be amazed!
