Bug Nebula 소개

설명

The Bug Nebula (NGC 6302) is a spectacular bipolar planetary nebula in Scorpius, about 3,400 light-years away. It has one of the hottest central stars known (over 200,000 K) and displays dramatic butterfly-shaped lobes of ejected gas spanning about 3 arcminutes.

관측 팁

Visible as a bright, slightly elongated glow in a 4-inch telescope. Larger scopes reveal the bipolar structure. An OIII filter enhances the view. Located in a rich Milky Way field in Scorpius, best in summer evenings from locations with a good southern horizon.

역사

Discovered by James Dunlop on June 12, 1826 from Australia. The central star was long hidden by a dense equatorial dust torus and was only imaged directly by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2009.

재미있는 사실

The Bug Nebula's central star, at over 200,000 K, is one of the hottest objects in the galaxy. The lobes contain gas moving at over 600 km/s. The equatorial dust disk that pinches the nebula into its butterfly shape contains crystalline silicates similar to minerals found in Earth's crust.
