The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed stunning details in the Crab Nebula, a well-studied supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Ta**us.

Webb’s observation of the Crab Nebula is helping astronomers piece together the supernova remnant’s mysterious origins. Scientists will receive even more clues when the Hubble Space Telescope looks at the Crab again in the near future. This new Hubble data will enable scientists to more accurately compare and combine data from these two telescopes: https://webbtelescope.pub/46Q8Pmf
