The world’s most powerful space telescope, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, has just released the sharpest infrared images to date of the Horsehead Nebula, a small dark nebula in the ...
It has been photographed multiple times by the Hubble Space Telescope since its launch in 1990. [10] [11] Prior to these observations, NGC 7027 was thought to be a protoplanetary nebula with the central star too cool to ionize any of the gas, but it is now known to be a planetary nebula in the earliest stage of its development.

NGC 6751, also known as the Glowing Eye Nebula, [2] is a planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila. It is estimated to be about 6,500 light-years (2.0 kilo parsecs ) away. [ 2 ]
GS-NDG-9422 is a nebular dominated galaxy in the constellation Fornax that was discovered by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Scientists assume that the galaxy's light comes mostly from superheated gas (more than 80 000 degrees Celsius).
NGC 6302 (also known as the Bug Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, or Caldwell 69) is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius.The structure in the nebula is among the most complex ever seen in planetary nebulae.
IC 5146 (also Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, Barnard 168, and the Cocoon Nebula) is a reflection [2] /emission [3] nebula and Caldwell object in the constellation Cygnus. The NGC description refers to IC 5146 as a cluster of 9.5 mag stars involved in a bright and dark nebula.
It is also known as the Lobster Nebula. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] This nebula was given the name War and Peace Nebula by the Midcourse Space Experiment scientists because of its appearance, which, in infrared images the bright, western part resembles a dove, while the eastern part looks like a skull. [ 6 ]
