NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures breathtaking images of butterfly nebula

United States' national ncy NASA has released mesmerising pictures depicting two nearby young planetary nebulae, NGC 6302 and NGC 7027 captured by its Hubble Telescope.

According to scientists, y are among dustiest planetary nebulae and contain unusually large masses of gas. nebulae, NGC 7027 and NGC 6302 (nicknamed Butterfly Nebula of its wing-like appearance) began with dying stars. Scientists believe that ir deaths were wild and fierce as star is wracked with giant tremors, tossing tremendous measures of heavenly material out into encompassing .

Unprecedented levels of gas bubbles

researchers have found unprecedented levels of complexity and rapid changes in jets and gas bubbles blasting off stars at centers of both nebulas. Hubble is proving helpful for researchers to converge on an understanding of mechanisms underlying cosmic chaos.

According to NASA, " nebula NGC 7027 shows emission at an incredibly large number of different wavelengths, each of which highlights t only a specific chemical element in nebula but also significant, ongoing changes in its structure".

Scientists suspect that at centre of both nebulas are — or were — two stars circling around each or, like a pair of figure skaters.
