A cosmic butterfly, captured among the stars.
Located in the constellation Cygnus, the Butterfly Nebula is a vast region of glowing hydrogen gas and dust, shaped by the light and energy of nearby stars.
There’s something incredible about looking into the night sky and realizing that these colors and structures are light that has traveled across space for thousands of years.
This particular photo is loosely processed, once I complete the full integration the structures shown here will become even more complex and detailed.
