Description

My interpetation of the the beautiful butterfly nebula. It's an object made of mainly hot gas, and a dying star that was once 5 times the mass of the Sun is at the centre of the nebula. It is 3.8 thousand light years away :)

Here's a picture of the real thing taken by the Hubble telescope: [link]

Nebulas are amazing! :D
