JWST's Stunning Images of the Ring Nebula 🌌
🔭 The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has done it again! Prepare to be awestruck as this groundbreaking telescope captures breathtaking new images of the iconic Ring Nebula, also known as Messier 57. Led by a team of international astronomers, including brilliant minds from the University of Manchester, these images reveal the nebula's intricate and ethereal beauty like never before!
🌟 For sky enthusiasts, the Ring Nebula is a well-known object visible all summer long, residing in the constellation Lyra. A small telescope will already showcase its characteristic donut-like structure of glowing gas, giving this celestial wonder its name.
Ring Nebula (M57) is probably the most famous celestial band. Its classic appearance is understood to be due to our own perspective, though. Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . The recent mapping of the expanding nebula's 3-D structure, based in part on this clear Hubble image,indicates that the nebula is a relatively dense, donut-like ring wrapped around the middle of a (American) football-shaped cloud of glowing gas.
