\n Butterfly in the sky.<\/p>\n

In a scenario suitable for a space opera, European astronomers have spotted an astral anomaly that resembles a brilliant glowing butterfly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt app<\/a>ears to float and flutter across the sky,\u201d wrote researchers from Chile\u2019s European Southern Observatory (ESO), who captured the object with the aptly named Very Large Telescope.<\/p>\n

Despite resembling an intergalactic insect, the image is actually a gas bubble called NGC 2899 that\u2019s located between 3,000 and 6,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Vela, per the release.<\/p>\n

The planetary nebulae was formed when one of Vela\u2019s central stars \u201creached the end of its life and cast off its outer layers.\u201d This, in turn, prompted the other star to interfere with the flow of gas, resulting in a two-lobed symmetrical shape seen in only around 10% to 20% of planetary nebulae. Think a bizarre case of interstellar indigestion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, NGC\u2019s radiant red-blue hue is caused by giant gas swaths burning at over 10,000 degrees due to radiation from the parent star.<\/p>\n

NGC 2899 has been a fixture on the astronomy scene since being discovered in 1835 by UK scientist John Herschel. However, thanks to the Very Large Telescope \u2014 which is the \u201cworld\u2019s most advanced optical instrument\u201d \u2014 ESO researchers could observe never-before-seen details, including the \u201cfaint outer edges of the planetary nebula glowing over the background stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it won\u2019t be long before the celestial butterfly bites the dust. NGC\u2019s vibrant gas shells are expected to shine for only a few thousand years \u201cuntil they ultimately disperse slowly through space\u201d \u2014 a mere blip on the astronomical timescale.<\/p>\n

NGC 2899 isn\u2019t the only cosmic phenomenon that has astronomers over the moon. In May, NASA researchers discovered evidence of a parallel universe where time runs in reverse.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
