Born from Exploding Light!
The complex structure of the Butterfly Nebula has, at its core, an exploded white dwarf star, roughly the size of Earth, which sends forth strong "winds" that change the appearance of the Nebula's "wings" over hundreds of years. If it were possible to observe these changes over a contracted time period, like with a sped-up video, it would reveal a mesmerizing fluttering or vibration of the wings of the tender butterfly!
The Celestial Artistry of heavenly constellations like the Butterfly Nebula testifies of the Greatest Artist of them all, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who created and upholds all things through the Word of His Power (Hebrews 1:3).
