This handout image released by the International Gemini Observatory/NSF NOIRLab on November 26, 2025, shows the NGC 6302 nebula captured last month by the Gemini South telescope. To celebrate 25 years since the completion of the International Gemini Observatory, students in Chile voted for the Gemini South telescope to image the NGC 6302, a billowing planetary nebula that resembles a cosmic butterfly. The International Gemini Observatory is partly funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated by NSF NOIRLab.
