NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured a side view of a galaxy that 'photobombed' a planetary nebula

There is a cloud of dust and gas 2,000 light-years away from Earth.

Something that hadn't been seen before is a side view of a distant galaxy in the background of a picture.

During the image reveal, Karl Gordon said that he made a bet that it was part of the nebula. I lost the bet due to the fact that we looked more carefully at the images.

Scientists have yet to provide more information about the photobomb. It's amazing. Wow! This is what I'm going to do. Alex Lockwood, a project scientist, said as she shared the new images that they were "WOW"

After more than two decades of development, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope was launched. The $10 billion telescope has traveled more than 1 million miles from Earth and is now in a stable position. It is possible to see far into the past with the help of the invisible light that is invisible to the human eye.

NASA released its first set of full-color images of the telescope in order to show off its capabilities. Two different views of the Southern Ring Nebula were captured by the telescope.

The Southern Ring is a colorful shell of gas and dust created by a dying star.

The star begins to shake in its final throes. It makes a loud noise. Klaus Pontoppidan, a project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said that the images would come out at the end of the project. The star did something before it created the planetary nebula. It's interesting because it's like geological layers and you can see the history of its last moments.

The new imagery shows a dying star in greater detail, as well as revealing a second star, which was previously hidden. Astronomers said studying the stars in detail will give them a better idea of how they shape the gas and dust cloud.

The first year of normal science operations began over the weekend. The best is yet to come according to the assistant director of science communication at NASA.
