JWST captured a stunning mid-infrared view of Wolf-Rayet Apep, showing four spiraling dust shells around a chaotic triple-star system. Two massive stars forge carbon dust in colliding winds while a third star carves holes through each layer.

NGC 6357, dubbed the “Cathedral to Massive Stars,” dazzles in JWST’s view. Once thought a single 200-solar-mass star, Pismis 24-1 is actually three giants—each near 100 Suns! Newborn stars still emerge in this cosmic cathedral.

Very beautiful.
Discovered in 2022, the massive blue arcs near the Andromeda Galaxy—SDSO 1 aren’t galactic neighbours, after all. They’re an entirely new class of faded planetary nebulae in our own Milky Way, dubbed Ghost Planetary Nebulae (GPN). A hauntingly beautiful find!

Astronomers have finally found some of the universe’s long-missing ordinary matter a 23 million light-year filament of hot gas linking galaxy clusters in the Shapley Supercluster. At 10 million °C and 10× the Milky Way's mass, it supports our leading cosmic models.
