James Webb Telescope Unveils Mysteries of Stellar Death and Nebulae

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured detailed, high-resolution images of the complex planetary nebula NGC 6072, revealing asymmetrical, multi-polar outflows and potential evidence of multiple stars influencing the nebula's shape. The observations provide insights into the late stages of stellar evolution and how stars contribute to enriching the interstellar medium, aiding in the understanding of star life cycles and their impact on surrounding environments.
