TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning view of the Crab Nebula, a remnant of a supernova explosion. Using its infrared instruments, the JWST revealed new details about the composition and inner workings of the nebula, including dust grain emissions and synchrotron radiation. The observations also showed the structure of the magnetic fields surrounding the pulsar at the heart of the nebula. Astronomers will continue to analyze data from the JWST and await additional observations from the Hubble Space Telescope to gain further insights into the Crab Nebula.
