   The official NASA/ESA version of the Ring Nebula, as seen by #JWST.

   The Ring is a planetary nebula. Planetary nebulas got their name because they look like fuzzy planets through small telescopes. They were believed to be simple, round objects with a single dying Sun-like star at their centers. However, modern observations like this show a variety of intricate and complex structures.
