TL;DR
- The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new, high-resolution infrared image of the Helix Nebula.
- The Helix Nebula, also known as the "Eye of God" or "Eye of Sauron," is located about 650 light-years from Earth.
- The image reveals the final stages of a dying star and the complex structures it created.
- Thousands of elongated formations, called cometary knots, are visible within the nebula.
- The nebula consists of gaseous remnants expelled by a star, with a white dwarf at its center.
- Colors in the image indicate gas temperature and chemical composition: blue for hotter gas near the white dwarf, and yellow for cooler, hydrogen-rich gas further away.
