James Webb Space Telescope Images
The images sent by James Webb Space Telescope are extremely attractive, and full of curiosity as they look like green and purple eyes. Its donut-shaped rings of gasses and dust particles are visible even through normal telescopes in the summer season.
What is the Ring Nebula?
Scientists have said that the Ring Nebula is not a star, rather, it is the remnants of a dead star, astronomers call it a ‘planetary nebula’. James Webb Space Telescope has sent images with white specks, which are red dwarf stars. These are the remnants of the core of the now-extinct stellar body.
Pictures help understand about life and death of a star
James Webb Space Telescope has shown that Ring Nebula is fascinating to astronomers not only because it is visible through amateur and normal telescopes, but it is also placed in such a way that it is viewed face-on. The observation of a Ring Nebula through a telescope makes it possible for scientists to study what happens inside a planetary nebula and know the life and death of a star.
What may happen to the sun in future?
When a star exhausts all its energy and can no longer support itself, its core collapses and the outer layer blasts. Scientists have said that our sun will face the same fate about five billion years from now. Ring Nebula gives a picture of what may happen to the sun one day.
