A new #JWST view of the remnant of Supernova 1987A.
SN 1987A has been a target of intense observations at wavelengths ranging from gamma rays to radio for nearly 40 years, since its discovery in February of 1987. Located 168,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, it was the nearest supernova to explode in the era of modern telescopes.

1. A supernova remnant. The center of the image contains a dense green cloud, shaped like a keyhole. Within this keyhole, there is a dark spot, composed of even denser gas. Outside of this cloud of gas is a ring of dense orange gas and dust that becomes more diffused as it travels further away from the center. The innermost part of this dense orange ring contains brighter orange clumps of glowing gas, which look like pearls on a necklace. Outside of these structures, both above and below them, are very faint orange rings of gas and dust, forming a figure-eight pattern. There are several bright white stars, three of which show a six-pronged diffraction pattern brought about by the Webb Space Telescope. Several other white stars are strewn throughout the image.
