NGC 6302, also known as the "Bug Nebula," is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Scorpius. It is approximately 3,300 light-years away from Earth and is notable for its striking bipolar structure, which resembles a butterfly or an insect. The nebula is formed from gas ejected by a dying star, which is now a white dwarf at its center. The nebula's bright, colorful appearance is due to the ionization of gases, primarily hydrogen and helium, by the intense radiation from the central star. NGC 6302 is one of the most studied planetary nebulae, providing valuable insights into stellar evolution and the life cycle of stars.
