The NASA/ESA/CSA 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’s image brings out the nebula’s nuances, particularly its “fuzzy” dusty rings. Also look for holes in the central pink region where material has broken through.Two central stars, which appear as one in Webb’s image, formed this scene over thousands of years — and will keep at it for thousands more.
The release, images and videos are available on:
