Scientists were able to pinpoint the location of the Butterfly Nebula’s central star. The James Webb Space Telescope has unearthed new details at the core of the Butterfly Nebula – one of the best studied planetary nebulas in the Milky Way galaxy. Not to mention, the term is particularly unfit for the Butterfly Nebula, which most definitely does not look round. The Butterfly Nebula is a bipolar nebula, meaning it has two lobes spreading out in opposite directions – forming the image of the wings of a butterfly. They were also able to pinpoint the location of the Butterfly Nebula’s central star, which had not been done before.
