James Webb Space Telescope sees a celestial Venn diagram around a dying star

A pink hazy structure in space that looks like two overlapping rings, much like a Venn diagram.

A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is allowing astronomers to examine the complex and turbulent final stages of a dying star's life.

The snapshot above showcases NGC 1514, a planetary nebula that resides roughly 1,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. Despite the term, however, NGC 1514 has nothing to do with planets. Instead, at its heart, there are two stars.
