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 a bug. The nebula is formed from the outer layers of a dying star that has shed its material, creating a colorful and intricate pattern of gas and dust. The central star of NGC 6302 is a hot, massive white dwarf that emits intense ultraviolet radiation, causing the surrounding gas to glow brightly. This nebula is one of the most studied examples of planetary nebulae due to its unique features and complex morphology, providing valuable insights into stellar evolution and the life cycle of stars.
