At first glance, the Ring Nebula looks like a sports stadium with green grass lit up at night.
A new James Webb Space Telescope image of the Ring Nebula that boasts an exquisite green looks like a sports stadium lit up at night at first glance.
The long-dead star expelled stellar material from its center giving the Ring Nebula its stadium-like structure and glowing green and purple colors. “I would have never thought that one day, I would be part of the team that would use the world’s most powerful space telescope ever built to look at this object.”
“The James Webb Space Telescope has provided us with an extraordinary view of the Ring Nebula that we’ve never seen before,” Mike Barlow, University College London professor and co-lead scientist of the JWST Ring Nebula Imaging Project,“The high-resolution images not only showcase the intricate details of the nebula’s expanding shell but also reveal the inner region around the central white dwarf in exquisite clarity.
