Reconstructed by a global forensic team of astronomers using stunning James Webb Space Telescope images. The first images of a nebula from the James Webb Telescope gave astronomers remarkable insights into the death of the star that created these beautiful haloes of gas and dust. Around 2500 y
It paves the way for future Webb observations of nebulae, providing insight into fundamental astrophysical processes including colliding winds, and binary star interactions, with implications for supernovae and gravitational wave systems.The bright star at the center of NGC 3132, while prominent when viewed by NASA’s Webb Telescope in near-infrared light , plays a supporting role in sculpting the surrounding nebula.
Astronomers gathered online and developed theories and models around the mid-infrared image to reconstruct just how the star had died. There are also a series of spiral structures moving out from the center. These concentric arches would be created when a companion orbits the central star while it is losing mass. Another companion is further out and is also visible in the picture.
