Witness the elegance of the cosmic butterfly in a remarkable telescope photo

The National Science Foundation's NoirLab released the picture on Wednesday. The glowing "wings" appear to be bursting in the image. While the bipolar nebula goes by the monikers Butterfly Nebula, Bug Nebula or Caldwell 69, its official name is NGC 6302.
