Crab Nebula:

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has gazed at the Crab Nebula in the search for answers about the supernova remnant's origins. Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) have revealed new details in infrared light.

Similar to the Hubble optical wavelength image released in 2005, with Webb, the remnant appears to be comprised of a crisp, cage-like structure of fluffy, red-orange filaments of gas that trace doubly ionized sulfur (Sulfur III). Among the remnants' interior, yellow-white and green fluffy ridges form large-scale loop-like structures, which represent areas where dust particles reside.

The area within is comprised of translucent, milky material. This white material is synchrotron radiation, which is emitted across the electromagnetic spectrum but becomes particularly vibrant thanks to Webb's sensitivity and spatial resolution. It is generated by particles accelerated to extremely high speeds as they wind around magnetic field lines. Trace the synchrotron radiation throughout the majority of the Crab Nebula's interior.

Locate the wisps that follow a ripple-like pattern in the middle. In the center of this ring-like structure is a bright white dot: a rapidly rotating neutron star. Further out from the core, follow the thin white ribbons of the radiation. The curvy wisps are closely grouped together, following different directions that mimic the structure of the pulsar's magnetic field. Note how certain gas filaments are bluer in color. These areas contain singly ionized iron (iron II).

Please note that these canvas art prints are created for exquisite indoor display.
