Hidden Structure Of Iconic Supernova Seen By JWSTJWST captured this detailed image of SN 1987A (Supernova 1987A). At the center, material ejected from the supernova forms a keyhole shape. Just to its left and right are faint crescents newly discovered by Webb. Beyond them an equatorial ring, formed from material ejected tens of thousands of years before the supernova explosion, contains bright hot spots. Exterior to that is diffuse emission and two faint outer rings.

What Are You Actually Looking At In This Glorious JWST Image?At the centre is a thin horizontal multi-coloured cloud tilted from bottom left to top right. At its centre is a dark brown cloud from which both outflows are spewing from. These outflows transition from colours of yellow/orange, to a light blue region, with prominent light pink features in the outer regions.

JWST Observes Saturn’s Northern Polar Vortex Before It Fades With Summer’s EndThe Mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) on the JWST can't take in the whole of Saturn at once, let alone the rings. Instead, it put together its study using tiles from the equator to the pole.

First-Ever “Seeds” Of Supermassive Black Holes May Have Been DiscoveredThis artist's impression is of a supermassive black hole that is inside the dust-shrouded core of a vigorously star-forming "starburst" galaxy. It will eventually become an extremely bright quasar once the dust is gone. Discovered in a Hubble deep-sky survey, the dusty black hole dates back to only 750 million years after the Big Bang.

Young Stars Shooting Jets Snapped By JWSTAt the centre is a thin horizontal orange cloud tilted from bottom left to top right. It takes up about two-thirds of the length of this angle, but is thin at the opposite angle. At its centre is a set of very large red and pink diffraction spikes in Webb’s familiar eight-pointed pattern. It has a central yellow-white blob, which hides two tightly orbiting stars. The background is filled with stars and galaxies.
