and much of it centers on understanding dark matter

The original supernova would have been bright enough to be seen clearly from Earth with the naked eye

Shining brightly below the galaxy is a star that is actually within our own Milky Way galaxy

Its spiral arms appear distorted and displaced above the main plane of the galaxy

The Butterfly Nebula NGC 6302 Wall Art including Frame Sizes:LARGE (30x30) and much of it centersHubble 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 observations highlight a new pattern of near infrared emission from singly ionized iron, which traces an S shape from lower left to upper right. This iron emission likely traces the
