Webb captured the object in infrared — light wavelengths that are invisible to human eyes but can pierce through thick dust.
Two heads are better than one in the latest images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which reveal new detail in a mysterious, little-studied nebula surrounding a dying star. Nebula PMR 1 is a ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured PMR 1 in Vela using NIRCam and MIRI, revealing structural layers, stellar winds, and evolutionary details of a planetary nebula.
"Nebula PMR 1 is a cloud of gas and dust that bears an uncanny resemblance to a brain in a transparent skull." ...
Researchers reported that this nebula is being formed by a star in the final stages of its life, burning its remaining fuel.
The unmatched sensitivity of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope in both near- and mid-infrared light sheds new light on PMR 1, a little-studied nebula in the constellation of Vela.
