James Webb Just Captured the Cranium Nebula in Unprecedented Detail

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured stunning new images of the Cranium Nebula (PMR-1), a planetary nebula located 5,000 light-years away in the Vela constellation. Resembling a brain inside a skull, this structure was formed by a dying Wolf-Rayet star ejecting gas and dust. The images highlight the complex layers and composition of the nebula through different infrared wavelengths.
