This image, which combines infrared data from the James Webb Space Telescope with submillimetre observations from the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA), shows the doughnut-shaped torus and interconnected bubbles of dusty gas that surround the Butterfly Nebula’s central star. The torus is oriented vertically and nearly edge-on from our perspective, and it intersects with bubbles of gas enclosing the star. The bubbles appear bright red in this image, illuminated by the light from helium and neon gas. Outside the bubbles, jets traced by emission from ionised iron shoot off in opposite directions.

Top view of the Milky Way galaxy showing the estimated orbits of both our Sun and the 3I/ATLAS comet. 3I/ATLAS is shown in red dashed lines, and the Sun is shown in yellow dotted lines. The large extent of 3I’s orbit into the outer thick disk is clear, while the Sun stays nearer the core of the galaxy.
