NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured an unprecedentedly sharp image of planetary nebula NGC 1514, revealing ...

Thanks to mid-infrared images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the gas and dust ejected by a dying star at the center ...

The James Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) has proven to be essential in decoding the full complexity of NGC 1514. Capable of capturing thermal emissions from small dust grains heated by ...

Webb’s images suggest a tilted, hourglass structure. Dust forms orange arcs, resembling shallow ‘V’ shapes at each end.

Gas and dust ejected by a dying star at the heart of NGC 1514 came into complete focus thanks to mid-infrared data from the ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has taken the most detailed image of planetary nebula NGC 1514 to date thanks to its unique mid-infrared observations. Webb shows its rings as intricate clumps of ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a planetary nebula designated Messier 57 (also known as NGC 6720), dubbed the Ring Nebula. As a result, ...

These filaments, traced by silicon monoxide emissions and lacking dust association, suggest a cyclical process of gas replenishment and depletion driven by energetic shocks. (Artist’s concept.) Credit ...
