Mankind has been looking to the sky for centuries and wondering what is beyond the stars. Astronomers are constantly exploring space without stopping. But even astronomers have a celestial body they’ve been thinking about for almost 100 years, Butterfly Nebula.

But after years of research, astronomers have finally solved the mystery of the Butterfly Nebula.

One day our sun will turn into the butterfly nebula.

Named for its resemblance to a butterfly, its real name NGC 6302 This cosmic wondrous celestial body has puzzled astronomers who have been observing it for nearly 100 years. NGC 6302, which has a very different structure than a normal nebula, is one of the celestial objects that has been studied for many years. While astronomers and researchers have been investigating how this celestial body came to be, some details that recently emerged shed light on the 100-year-old mystery of the Butterfly Nebula.

After thousands of images and scans taken since 2009, experts studying the nebula have found that NGC 6302 does not consist entirely of gas and dust. revealed. One exploded in the center of the nebula explosion power of a white dwarf staras an estimate of some of the fragments released in the explosion 800 km/h per hour fast floating through space, some just sharing With 80 km/h revealed that it was spreading in space. After the fragments of the shattered celestial body collide and fly around in space, this semi-asymmetrical shape that you see is created.

In other words, the shape of this huge-looking celestial body is entirely related to the explosion pattern and intensity of the dwarf star. In addition, according to the calculations of experts, the volume and mass of the exploding dwarf star is almost the same as the sun revealed.

So one day when our sun’s energy runs out and explodes it can also transform into a butterfly nebula.
