Exploring Planetary Nebulae
NASA’s Webb Telescope has made significant strides in observing planetary nebulae. These fascinating celestial phenomena are formed from the expanding shells of gas ejected by dying stars. Since the late 1700s, astronomers have sought to understand these luminous structures, and Webb is helping to uncover their complex details.
With its advanced capabilities, the Webb Telescope captures intricate details of these nebulae. This reveals the elements they contain and the processes that shape their evolution. As research progresses, astronomers are excited to learn more about the life cycles of stars and the role these nebulae play in the universe.
