NGC 6302 lies roughly 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. More popularly known as the Bug Nebula or the Butterfly Nebula, this celestial object looks like a delicate butterfly.

Note: Image was taken when constellation was low on the horizon from my viewing spot with trees very close!
