Hubble sees a more holistic view of the Butterfly Nebula or NGC 6302
Hubble was recently retrained on NGC 6302, known as the "Butterfly Nebula," to observe it across a more complete spectrum of light, from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared, helping researchers better understand the mechanics at work in its technicolor "wings" of gas. The "wings" of NGC 6302 are regions of gas heated to more than 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit that are tearing across space at more than 600,000 miles an hour. NGC 6302 lies between 2,500 and 3,800 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.
Annular or the Ring Of Fire solar eclipse is tomorrow
The time of maximum eclipse, when that "ring of fire" event happens, will be at 2:40 a.m. EDT (0640 GMT) Sunday, June 21, when the moon crosses into the center of the sphere of the sun, from Earth's perspective. The eclipse starts at 11:45 p.m. EDT Saturday, June 20 (0345 GMT Sunday) and ends at 5:34 a.m. EDT (1034 GMT) June 20, according to NASA.
Regions in the path of visibility include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, the Red Sea, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Gulf of Oman, Pakistan, India, China, Taiwan, the Philippine Sea (south of Guam), northern Australia and the north Pacific Ocean.

Happy eighth anniversary, rover Curiosity !
Picture Description: NASA's Curiosity rover took this selfie on Oct. 11, 2019, the 2,553rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission.
The rover drilled twice in this location, nicknamed "Glen Etive" (pronounced "glen EH-tiv"). About 984 feet (300 meters) behind the rover, Vera Rubin Ridge rises up. Behind it lies the floor of Gale Crater, which Curiosity is exploring, and the northern rim of the crater. (Text adapted from nasa.gov)

What would you take to the Moon with you?
The "ice giants" Uranus and Neptune appear to glow red-orange in new photos taken using Hawaii's Keck Observatory. The pictures show Uranus' rings and several moons, as well as Neptune's largest moon, Triton.

Zeeta
A short story - 1.3k
There’s a part of the world not safe anymore, the reasons have been lost to time. She enters and is haunted by horrific nightmares of what happened there, then on the last night wakes up having discovered that the nightmares were more real than she’d bargained for.
Why could she never change? Always too curious for her own good, paired with her unyielding stubbornness and you have a disaster waiting to happen. Especially on Zeeta.
Zeeta was her home planet. It was breathtakingly beautiful, with forests that stretched for miles, lakes and rivers running through even the most urbanised parts of the planet, and yet it possessed a small population when compared to the rest of the local galaxy because of its’ reputation. If you were to ask anyone about Zeeta, it’d be the last place they would ever go, no matter what you’d offer in return.
It was cursed, they all said.
Never having stepped foot on the green fields or in the prospering cities, they wailed and proclaimed that anyone who stepped foot there would meet a terrible end.
None of this was really true. It was just some political thing that turned to rumours and spiralled out of control.
Of course they were wrong. They had to be.
However. There was one part of Zeeta that no one ever spoke of. Not because it wasn’t allowed… simply because everyone born and raised there grew up with the unspoken dread that filled every person, every being at the mere thought of being there.
Somewhere in the forest, the green grass died, the trees wilted and nothing could grow nor live. No one knew exactly where it was nor did they wish to find out. No one knew exactly what was wrong with the place but they were terrified. All known information about it had been lost to time. Everyone. Every child, teen, adult and elderly person kept the fear of that place alive.
But why? Why should they fear something they know nothing about? What was really there? Could something so bad really be right on their very own land?
No. There was just no way that she’d believe it.
So she went. One perfectly clear and beautifully starry night, she leapt out of her window and headed into the woods behind her house. She had no reason to go. No reason at all. Except for her mother mocking her earlier that day as she voiced her belief about the so called ‘cursed’ place not being so bad. Particularly her mother’s choice of “have you been there?” is what ticked her off the most. No. no she hadn’t. but neither had her mother. No one had for that matter.
So she would prove them wrong.
She spent about 2 hours wondering around in the woods before she stumbled upon a compass wedged half way into the ground. It was surrounded by other bits and bobs, cogs and screws that had no place being there.
She dug it out of the ground and held it. North wasn't pointing North. She may have been gone for a long time but she still knew roughly where she should’ve been. And the compass was wrong. She stared. A second. That’s all it was. For a split second the reflection looking back at her wasn’t what she expected. She was crying. Disturbed, she shook her head and her reflection returned to normal.
A warning? Omen?
She still refused to back down. All this dedication and searching. She was so close she could feel it. She had to follow through. She looked at the compass once more, located North and looked up, determined. It took all but 3 steps and she no longer recognised the place she stood.
She looked back and saw the forest, yet stood on concrete. A path leading into a city. Yet it was nothing like she was used to. Whatever this was, was the complete opposite of Zeeta's streets. Replaced by looming buildings long dilapidated and worn by weather. Abandoned. She got the impression that a fire had swept the city and left nothing – no one behind.
She stared around in awe. This was no malicious or cursed place. Simply a tragedy misunderstood.
She went in deeper.
The air. Something was wrong with it.
It had to be at least a few decades since anyone, anything, any disaster had swept through so why was the air so heavy? Why was it that with every step she felt more suffocated? And then she looked around again. Paid closer attention.
People. People not turned to ash but frozen. Frozen in amalgamations of crystal, ruby, emerald, sapphire and more. It made no sense but it caused her no fear. She kept going. Now more intrigued than ever.
No longer paying attention to her breathing.
Her curiosity got the better of her again. She approached a body. She reached out to the gems. Cold. Sharp. She caught her reflection smiling. And then she looked up. The agonising screech of this man in his final moments was trapped, frozen in time forever. It didn’t bother her.
The fear.
It urged her on.
Disgust. A sudden and overwhelming disgust left her crumpling to the ground gasping for air as she came back to her senses. Something wasn’t right. Everything was turned to ash but these people.
What were they running from? What could do this? Who? …were they still here?
As the last thought rung through her head she turned away from the body clutching onto her chest. Panic rising. She looked up. And saw… something. She still can't describe it, but it terrified and calmed her at once. She wanted to run away and towards it simultaneously. Yet when the thing smiled, she made up her mind. With the thought of never seeing her mother again in the back of her head she ran to where the compass she had almost forgotten about was pointing North. Tripping once and scrambling back up she gasped for air more and more desperately. Hearing the creatures laugh she hurled herself across the threshold and just like that, you wouldn’t even know the place was ever there.
It's only then that she fully registered the tears silently flowing down her cheeks.
It'd been 7 days. 7 days since she came back home and sat through a sleepless night only to try her best to pretend nothing was wrong. And it worked. For just about 12 hours. She eventually collapsed in her bed: the exhaustion of keeping up the secret weighing on her as the adrenalin had disappeared long ago.
And that’s when the nightmares started.
The terrors that had her bolting up so fast she could hit the ceiling if she tried. Sweating, crying and even throwing up once she had awoken in the middle of the night having gotten 3 hours of sleep at a generous estimate. But the thing that bothered her was that she had no idea why.
Every time she woke she felt as though she had escaped her death or worst fear and yet she couldn’t remember a single second of these horrendous dreams. Not until the 8th night.
She had been cut on the way out of that dreaded place she had been so determined to find. This dream wasn’t so bad. But she was more scared than she had ever been in her life.
The cut. The thing she saw got to her. It clawed at her.
It was a dream, so why? When she looked down why was her leg bleeding so badly. It took another second for it to burn. But when it did, all the hiding she had done, all the emotions and fear she had kept from her mother about the nightmares and effects of them went out the window. The scream she let out was so loud and piercing that she swore she could see her bedroom window crack a little. She heard the panicked running of her mother heading to her room: blacking out before she could see her face or hear her voice.
