A New View Of A Mysterious Stellar RegionThe Lion Nebula, also known as Sharpless 132, is a large emission nebula located within the Milky Way. Through the advanced instruments of the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers can now study these structures with a level of detail unavailable from previous observatories. N ASA’s James Webb Space Telescope imaged the planetary nebula NGC 2392, the Lion Nebula, using the observatory’s NIRCam and MIRI instruments. Its ability to detect infrared light allows scientists to analyze cold dust clouds and distant astronomical structures with exceptional detail. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared image of planetary nebula NGC 2392, nicknamed the Lion Nebula, highlights the varying dust structures.
