Red Spider Nebula Holds a Secret in Its Glowing Heart, JWST Reveals
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed NGC 6537, the Red Spider Nebula in unprecedented detail, complete with sprawling legs, a glowing heart, and possibly a hidden companion lurking at its core.
NGC 6537, a planetary nebula, forms during a star's dying act, when stars like our Sun exhaust their fuel and swell into red giants.
- Stars shed their outer layers, exposing the core.
- Ultraviolet radiation from the exposed stellar heart makes the ejected material glow.
This beautiful finale typically only lasts a few tens of thousands of years before fading away.
The Red Spider Nebula's glowing heart reveals a secret.
