A JWST image of a planetary nebula shows a vivid, cloud-like structure in space. At the center, a brilliant electric blue core radiates intense light, surrounded by layers of orange and rusty red filaments that billow outward like expanding glowing smoke. The texture is rich and complex, with delicate wisps extending into the surrounding darkness. Countless stars and some galaxies dot the black background, contrasting sharply with the vibrant, detailed cloud at the heart of the image.
