Red Spider Planetary Nebula from Webb
The Red Spider Nebula, also known as NGC 6537, is a planetary nebula. It formed when a star ejected its outer layers, leaving behind a white dwarf. Webb Space Telescope data shows the complex structure, with winds from the central star reaching over 1,000 kilometers per second. This nebula houses one of the hottest white dwarfs ever observed.
