A breathtaking look at a dying star. This new image of the Helix Nebula is just in from JWST.
We've never seen this level of detail, as the star's remains stream back out to interstellar space. Our Sun will look something like this 7 billion years from now.

@coreyspowell question: how come we can see a ring? When a star explodes, wouldn't that create a bubble of matter expanding outward? And wouldn't we only see the surface of the bubble?
