Space Butterfly! A dying star at the center of the Butterfly | ASTRONOMY
Space Butterfly!
A dying star at the center of the Butterfly Nebula used to be about five times the mass of our Sun! But the star has cast off its envelope of gases and is unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet radiation that makes the ejected material glow.
This nebula is roughly 3,400 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.
