NGC 6302 Bug Nebula
Magnitude 7.1 bipolar planetary nebula located 3,400 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. The structure in the nebula is among the most complex ever observed in planetary nebulae. The spectrum of NGC 6302 shows that its central star is one of the hottest stars known, implying that the star from which it formed must have been very large.
