Scientists detect dry ice in a planetary nebula for the first time using James Webb Telescope
What makes this discovery even more interesting is that ices are not known to survive in planetary nebulae.
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed new details in a bizarre nebula that looks like a brain floating in space. Formed ...
Webb has captured the haunting “Exposed Cranium” nebula—an otherworldly cloud shaped by a dying star that looks remarkably like a brain inside a skull.
Astronomers combined Hubble's small-scale details of stellar death with Euclid's wide view of cosmic environments to take a closer look at the iconic Cat's Eye Nebula.
In 1993, when the Hubble Space Telescope surveyed the Orion nebula for the first time, its images provided a substantial boost for the argument that stars with planetary systems are commonplace in the ...

Hubble and Euclid capture the final breaths of the Egg Nebula’s dying star
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has produced the sharpest image ever taken of the Egg Nebula, a structure roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth where a dying star is shedding its outer layers in dramatic ...
The Flame Nebula or NGC 2024 is a large star-forming region in the constellation Orion that lies about 1,400 light-years from Earth. Hubble studied this nebula to look for protoplanetary disks, or ...

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...
According to astronomers, these types of aging stars produce large amounts of cosmic dust and spread it into space.
In 1995 NASA published images captured by the then nearly five-year-old Hubble Space Telescope of what the agency described as “one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen.” The photographs ...
Arrayed with a simple triangular outline above S Monocerotis, the stars of NGC 2264 are popularly known as the Christmas Tree star cluster. Image Credit & Copyright ...
