An image shows planetary nebula Tc 1 as observed by the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), combining nine filters spanning wavelengths from 5.6 to 25.5 microns, well beyond what the human eye can detect. Blue tones represent hotter gas at shorter mid-infrared wavelengths; red tones trace cooler material at longer wavelengths. The image was processed by Katelyn Beecroft using PixInsight.

Cami) The spectacular birthplace of weird carbon molecules known as "buckyballs" came to light in new imagery of a nebula from the James Webb Space Telescope. The gas cloud includes an upside-down question mark shape, which marks a structure scientists don't yet understand. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) peered 10,000 light-years into space to trace the origin of buckyballs, which are large and hollow molecules resembling a soccer ball.…
