In the Dark

A Zoom in to the Butterfly Nebula

I haven’t used my Youtube channel very much recently so to avoid disappointing my subscribers, of whom there are several, I have today upload a video showcasing the work of colleagues at Maynooth.

This zoom in from an optical Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image shows how infrared observations by the James Web Space Telescope reveal the surprising details of the structure at the heart of the Butterfly Nebula, NGC 6302
