#NASAWebb’s new view of the famous Helix Nebula zooms into a section of the shells of gas cast off by a dying star, revealing pillars that look like comets with extended tails: https://news.stsci.edu/4qPKTsL
A closeup of a small section of the Helix Nebula, an expanding shell of gas and dust. Thousands of orange and gold comet-like pillars stream upward from the bottom, like thin liquid blown up a sheet of glass. These pillars are around the circumference of the arced shell, which forms a partial orange semi-circle at the bottom. The pillars are more numerous and denser at the bottom, and darker red. They fade to orange and then yellow in the arc. In the top two-thirds, they are thinner and more golden, and it’s easier to see the black background of space. Several bright blue stars, some with diffraction spikes, are scattered throughout. A few larger stars are on the right side.

Break the ice. We're not supposed to be here.
Plate featuring three astronauts wielding pick axes toward a central spot on a frozen tundra, breaking though transparent ice that resembles the universe with several shining stars underneath.

Cat’s Paw Nebula in visible light (greyscale) and infrared (colorful rectangles) is looking awesome! Started adding in details today before my untimely demise to my horrible gremlin posture lol
Me smiling next to my nebula painting Oil painting in progress of the Cat’s Paw Nebula. There are 5 horizontal rectangles in color (blue, brown, and orange). The rest of the painting is in greyscale. 3 rectangles still have tape around them. The 2nd & 3rd rectangle from the top have the tape removed and have more details.
