The Butterfly Nebula

Another space-inspired haiku

Imagine effects

of this butterfly's wings on

all galaxies it touched.

Author's note: I believe many of us were impressed with the Butterfly Effect Theory - the idea that small, seemingly trivial events may ultimately result in something with much larger consequences. And what if the Butterfly is a nebula? What size consequences it can lead to?

    A nebula butterfly flaps its wings, and boom—new stars, shifted galaxies, and cosmic chaos. Who knew something so small could shake up the universe? Wild stuff!✨
