{"product_id":"butterfly-nebula-and-ngc-7027-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"Butterfly Nebula and NGC 7027 – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis paired Hubble Space Telescope image presents two Milky Way planetary nebulae in strikingly different forms. On the left, NGC 6302—the Butterfly Nebula—unfurls broad blue wings around a brilliant white centre, with traces of pink and red caught in its lower reaches. Beside it, NGC 7027 appears more compact and rounded: a warm red-pink structure threaded with luminous filaments and set within a softer outer halo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough both objects share the same broad astronomical classification, their contrasting shapes give the pairing unusual visual force. NGC 6302 spreads dramatically across its half of the frame, while NGC 7027 gathers its light into a denser, more contained form. Released on 18 June 2020, the presentation allows these two planetary nebulae to be considered side by side without implying that they occupy the same physical region of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNGC 6302 first draws the eye through scale and movement. Its luminous centre forms a narrow pivot from which layered blue structures extend in opposing directions. Along the upper edge, fine filaments emerge against the black field; farther down, cooler blues are interrupted by faint veins and patches of red and pink. The gradients from blue through greenish tones to white give the nebula an almost sculpted appearance, yet its edges remain delicate and irregular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNGC 7027 offers a quieter but equally intricate counterpoint. Its brightest material is concentrated near the centre, where a faint web of lines seems to radiate through the rounded red form. The outer boundary softens gradually into darkness rather than ending abruptly, creating a subdued halo around the brighter interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross both panels, scattered white stars establish a finely textured background. Some are crisp points; others are barely visible. At large scale, these quieter details prevent the surrounding black from feeling empty and sharpen the contrast between the expansive wings of NGC 6302 and the compact geometry of NGC 7027. Labels in the upper corners identify the two nebulae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302) and NGC 7027\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milky Way planetary nebulae\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 June 2020, 19:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e NASA, ESA, and J.
