Space Butterfly

Have you seen any of the magnificent photos produced by the newly upgraded Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and released last week? They are awesome. The above image is planetary nebula NGC 6302, better known as the Butterfly Nebula. Click the title link for more information and CLICK for a slide show of images. (Note to a BBC editor: the above picture is a panorama, not a "vista". Just because Microsoft got it wrong doesn't mean you have to follow suit.)
