Webb telescope reveals unprecedented views of Ring Nebula's intricate structure and dying star

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured high-resolution images of the Ring Nebula, a planetary nebula 2500 light-years away.
The images reveal new details about the nebula's inner ring, outer halo, and the dying star at its center.
The inner ring contains dense clumps of molecular hydrogen and evidence of carbon-based molecules.
Concentric arcs in the outer halo suggest the presence of a companion star affecting the nebula's shape.
As a planetary nebula, the Ring Nebula provides insights into the life cycles of stars like our sun.
