This Week @NASA: Webb Captures a Cosmic Ring, Giant Black Hole Destroys a Massive Star

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has observed the well-known Ring Nebula in unprecedented detail. Formed by a star throwing off its outer layers as it runs out of fuel, the Ring Nebula is an archetypal planetary nebula. This new image from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) shows intricate details of the filament structure of the inner ring. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA, M. Barlow (University College London), N.
