Spectacular new images of the planetary nebulae NGC 6302 and NGC 7027
An article in the journal “Galaxies” reports a study of the planetary nebulae NGC 6302, also known as the Butterfly Nebula for its shape, and NGC 7027. A team of researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope in multiple wavelength observations to offer the most complete views ever obtained of these two planetary nebulae. Both of them were already studied with Hubble and many other instruments in the past, but the Wide Field Camera 3 instrument allowed to obtain more details that mean more scientific information on the processes in progress and even more spectacular images.
