supernova remnant’s origins. Webb’s NIRCam and MIRI have revealed new details in infrared light.The James Webb Space Telescope has returned spectacular new images of perhaps the most famous nebula in the night sky.
About 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus, the Crab Nebula was captured using JWST’s NIRCam and MIRI instruments.back in 2006. JWST’s version—which captures infrared light—shows more detail in the filaments of gas around it, which look orange in the images. However, there are other kinds of nebula.
