Abstract
![Figure][1] CREDIT: NASA/ESA/A. ZIJLSTRA (UMIST, MANCHESTER, U.K.); NASA/ESA/HUBBLE SM4 ERO TEAM This new picture of the Bug Nebula (right), some 4000 light-years away, shows what the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope's new Wide Field Camera 3 can do. The instrument is 10 to 30 times more sensitive than the earlier camera, which snapped a picture of the same nebula—in far less telling detail (left)—in 2004. This image, taken on 27 July and released by NASA last week, will enable astronomers to get a richer understanding of the elemental composition of the butterfly-shaped object's gossamer wings, which span 2 lightyears.
