M2-9: Wings of a Butterfly Nebula

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The M2-9 nebula, nicknamed the Butterfly Nebula, is a planetary nebula formed as a star like our Sun dies. Located 2,100 light-years away, the star sheds its outer layers of gas, creating these intricate, wing-like structures. This process is a common part of a low-mass star's transformation into a white dwarf.
