Abstract

Space The James Webb Telescope (JWST) has captured the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located 6500 light years away in the constellation Taurus. The smoke-like wisps are a product of the nebula's pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star, generating magnetic fields that make particles emit electromagnetic radiation, which JWST can spot with its infrared camera.
