Webb Telescope Reveals Exquisite Details of Crab Nebula

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured stunning new details of the Crab Nebula, located 6,500 light years away from Earth. The never-before-seen image reveals the inner workings of the nebula, including its "beating heart" that emits pulses of radiation and charged particles. Astronomers from Princeton University are studying the image to determine the composition of the ejected material and shed light on the nebula's origins. The image shows a cage-like structure of gaseous filaments in red-orange, with detailed emissions from dust grains in yellow-white and green. The Crab Nebula was formed from a supernova explosion about 1,000 years ago, with its dense core now known as the Crab Pulsar.
