M2-9: Wings of a Butterfly Nebula

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

M2-9 is a planetary nebula, the outer layers of a dying star, about 2,100 light-years away. It has a distinctive butterfly shape, formed as the star sheds its gaseous envelope. This process creates an impressive display that fades over thousands of years. The star at its center will eventually become a white dwarf.
