Images taken by the telescopes NIRCam and MIRI instruments show the gassy structure as never before.
describing the image, the nebula is close to doughnut shaped, with a rugby ball-shaped combination of gas and dust situated in the nebula’s gap .
A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in space. Many nebulae form as stars die, and some nebulae are regions where new stars are born,. The Ring Nebula sits about 2,500 light-years from Earth. Its main ring is made up of gas that is being flung outwards by a dying star at the nebula’s core. The star will eventually become a white dwarf. Our own
when it finally expires in some five billion years, and it will become a white dwarf, though we’ll almost certainly not be around to see it !ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA, M. Barlow, N. Cox, R. Wesson Outside of the nebula’s main ring there are about ten concentric arcs, which according to the same release may come from interactions between the main dying star at the nebula’s center and a low-mass companion; by studying the nebula, astronomers can deduce details of the star that gave rise to it.It may seem bizarre that two different images of the same nebula can have such different colors.
—which is what they did with the image in this article, bringing out certain aspects of the nebula in each image.

Webb reveals intricate details in the remains of a dying starNASA's James Webb Space Telescope obtained images of the Ring Nebula, one of the best-known examples of a planetary nebula. Much like the Southern Ring Nebula, one of Webb's first images, the Ring Nebula displays intricate structures of the final stages of a dying star. Roger Wesson from Cardiff University tells us more about this phase of a sun-like star's stellar lifecycle and how Webb observations have given him and his colleagues valuable insights into the formation and evolution of these objects, hinting at a key role for binary companions.
