Check out this new #JWST image of the Crab Nebula 🤩

The milky smoke-like glow in the nebula's center comes from synchrotron radiation, light produced by charged particles, like electrons, moving around magnetic fields at relativistic speeds.

Curvy wisps outline the structure of the pulsar’s magnetic field, which sculpts and shapes the nebula. A faint ring of white material encircles the pulsar, a tiny white dot, at the very center.
