James Webb captures the Lion Nebula — sculpted by a dying Sun-like star

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a striking new infrared image of NGC 2392, known as the Lion Nebula. At its core, a scorching white dwarf blasts radiation into surrounding gas and dust, carving out a lion-like face and illuminating a sprawling "mane" of dusty clumps. The nebula marks the dramatic final stages of a Sun-like star's life.
