Southern Ring Nebula Space James Webb Telescope Coaster

The veil stretches no more. For millennia, the Southern Ring Nebula, a ghostly shroud in the constellation Vela, has teased astronomers with hints of its secrets. Now, the James Webb Telescope's infrared gaze pierces the dusty veil, revealing a mesmerizing dance of death and rebirth. A dying star, cloaked in dust, casts an ethereal glow on the expelled layers of gas and dust, forever sculpted into intricate rings. This breathtaking image is a testament to the universe's ability to forge beauty from the ashes of dying stars. - This file is in the public domain in the United States because it was solely created by NASA.
