☆ Colorful Ring Nebula shines in new Webb images

CNN —The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed colorful new portraits of the iconic Ring Nebula. Webb previously captured a different perspective on the Ring Nebula, as well as the similar-looking Southern Ring Nebula. A longtime favorite of astronomers, the Ring Nebula has been studied for years due to its observability and the insight it can provide into the lifetime of stars. Messier and astronomer Darquier de Pellepoix discovered the Ring Nebula in 1779. As the dying star was throwing off its atmosphere, the companion star shaped the outflow and sculpted it.”

The Ring Nebula, an oblong-donut-shaped planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra, is a dying star expelling its outer layers one by one, 2,200 light-years away. Check out the newly visible texture of the nebula's outer layers, and the spikes of light shooting out into space. AdvertisementAdvertisement"Planetary nebulae were once thought to be simple, round objects with a single dying star at the center. Webb's infrared photo shows telltale arcs outside the main ringThe Webb image reveals faint concentric arcs beyond the nebula's outer ring. If confirmed, this companion star would be about the same distance from the dying star as Earth is from Pluto.
