NASA released photos this week that show the Horsehead Nebula, one of the most famous formations of the cosmos, in a stunning new light.

This region lies between the cold gas of the nebula and the charged gas that surrounds the stars. A close-up of the Horsehead Nebula's "mane" captured by the Webb telescope's Near-Infrared Camera.

Astronomers estimate that the Horsehead will disintegrate in around five million years. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the sharpest infrared images of the Horsehead Nebula. The main ...
