       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

      A starfield is shown dominated by a complex nebula shown with many red   
      filaments and with a light glow in a region near the center. Please see   
                  the explanation for more detailed information.   
      
                  NGC 6072: A Complex Planetary Nebula from Webb   
                     Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, JWST   
      
      Explanation: Why is this nebula so complex? The Webb Space Telescope   
      has imaged a nebula in great detail that is thought to have emerged   
      from a Sun-like star. NGC 6072 has been resolved into one of the more   
      unusual and complex examples of planetary nebula. The featured image is   
      in infrared light with the red color highlighting cool hydrogen gas.   
      Study of previous images of NGC 6072 indicated several likely outflows   
      and two disks inside the jumbled gas, while the new Webb image resolves   
      new features likely including one disk's edge protruding on the central   
      left. A leading origin hypothesis holds that the nebula's complexity is   
      caused or enhanced by multiple outbursts from a star in a multi-star   
      system near the center.
