Unveiling the Intricate Beauty of the Crab Nebula with JWST

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured new images of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant in our galaxy, providing new insights into its evolution. The images, taken with JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), reveal details previously hidden from us, including the composition of the ejected material and the structure of the nebula. The images show gaseous filaments, dust grains, and synchrotron radiation created by the pulsar at the nebula's center. These observations, combined with data from other telescopes, contribute to a better understanding of cosmic objects.
