It’s time you caught up with what the James Webb Space Telescope has been up to.
After celebrating its first year in space this summer the tennis court-sized infrared observatory has been imaging some of the most famous objects in the night sky.
Captured in near-and mid-infrared for the first time by the observatory’s Near-Infrared Camera and Mid-Infrared Instrument instruments, new details are visible in a famous supernova remnant, a planetary nebulae and a giant galaxy.JWST's first image of SN 1987A, the remains of an exploded star have been well-studied since theirNASA, ESA, CSA, Mikako Matsuura , Richard Arendt , Claes Fransson , Josefin Larsson Image Processing: A. Pagan .
This new image from Webb’s NIRCam shows a keyhole shape of material being ejected as well as faint crescents around it that have never before been observed. Around it are hotspots of material in a ring, which are thought to pre-date the actual explosion, with two further rings beyond.
