This mid-infrared image from MIRI showcases the planetary nebula NGC 1514, often called Crystal Ball Nebula. It appears as a roughly spherical, glowing cloud with a complex structure. The nebula exhibits a range of colors, from a bright white outer shell to a mottled interior of red, pink, and blue hues, suggesting varying temperatures and compositions of the ejected stellar material. A bright central star is visible at the nebula's core, surrounded by a faint, star-like halo. The dark background is sprinkled with a few distant stars, while the bottom right corner of the image includes text stating "Processing M. Hakan Özsaraç Science NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI".
