Unraveling the mysteries of the Crab Nebula with NASA’s Webb Telescope

Unraveling The Mysteries Of The Crab Nebula With Nasa's Webb Telescope

A team of scientists used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to gain new insights into the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. This research, using the telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), has provided data that helps illuminate the complex history of the Crab Nebula. … Read more
