The James Webb Telescope delivers an unprecedented new image of the Lyra Nebula. A cliché that might teach us a lot.
The space telescope James Webb never ceases to deliver absolutely sumptuous images of space. Today, the Lyra Nebula is celebrating, with new unreleased image published by a team from Wesern University. The latter notably offers an “unprecedented” level of detail of “dying star remnants”. Impressive !
The James Webb Telescope delivers an unprecedented new image of the Lyra Nebula
The JWST – this is the small name of this formidable telescope – never ceases to impress. Launched in 2021 by the American space agency (NASA), the European space agency (ESA) and the Canadian space agency (CSA), it has since then very regularly transmitted unpublished images, each more breathtaking than the other on celestial objects and other phenomena of more or less distant space which surrounds us. This Thursday, August 3, he delivered a splendid shot of the Lyra Nebula.
According to a paper published by Wesern University, Canada, the Lyra Nebula is “a planetary nebula made up of the remnants of dying stars that release much of their mass at the end of their lives. Its peculiar structure and vivid colors have long captivated the human imagination.” Judging by this lavish shot, it’s pretty clear how much this celestial body can actually captivate fans.
A cliché that might teach us a lot
The Lyra Nebula can be observed during the summer and at night. Already well known to scientists, this new image of the JWST offers the extraordinary possibility of observing it with an “unprecedented” level of detail. Studying it on a more general level might give us little earthlings a glimpse of what our solar system might look like billions of years from now. Until then, we will gladly get lost in this colorful immensity.
