Such objects are formed when red giants expel their gaseous shells and ionize them in the final stages of their evolution before becoming white dwarfs.

ESA showcases images taken with the James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI), which show different details of the ring nebula by contrast, giving us a better understanding of this beautiful cosmic entity.

ESA says there are about 20,000 dense globules of hydrogen-rich molecules inside the Ring Nebula, which astronomers captured in advance of the James Webb Space Telescope observation mission GO 1558.
