Image of planetary nebula NGC 6302, with compass arrows, scale bar, and color key for reference.
The north and east compass arrows show the orientation of the image on the sky. Note that the relationship between north and east on the sky (as seen from below) is flipped relative to direction arrows on a map of the ground (as seen from above).
The color key shows which filters from Hubble's WFC3 (Wide Field Camera 3) instrument were used when collecting the light.
