The span of this nebula is over 3 light years in distance (one light year is 5.878625 trillion miles).
In comparison, our solar system orbit size is only approx 4.5 Billion kms in diameter so it gives you an indication just how big it is- yet still relatively very small, galactically speaking.
The dying central star, is what gives off the beautiful ultraviolet hues.
Its about 4,000 light years in distance from Earth and is within the constellation of Scorpius.
There is more to this than simply just science I intuitively feel- its manifested bipolar shape is completely metaphysical . There is a reason this central sun (200,00k in temp) emanated its bipolar outflows the way it did, Id love to know why. Stars 'communicate' with each other also, as does everything else in existence. What happened/is happening? Whats the story behind it I wonder?
Whatever the story is, I feel its a very old, beautiful and dynamic yet everlasting one. I feel that not only us Earth humans love and appreciate this Nebula, but I feel it is greatly loved and cherished by many other beings in existence.
There is something very special about this old dwarf star to emanate energy so symmetrically as it does. I feel it's history is very important. Since the temp of it currently is so hot, scientifically speaking this means it would have been a gigantically huge star at its zenith... A huge celestial energy that was very powerful and respected.
