NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope imaged the planetary nebula NGC 2392, the Lion Nebula, using the observatory\u2019s NIRCam and MIRI instruments. The central star\u2019s remains are responsible for the nebula\u2019s structure, including a lion face-shaped bubble of ionized gas and dust \u201cmane.\u201d<\/div>\n

Observing across the starry \u201cplains\u201d of space, NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope has taken new images of NGC 2392, nicknamed the Lion Nebula. The nebula’s “mane” is clear and detailed in this image released on Aug. 10, 2026, due to Webb’s high-resolution imaging.<\/p>\n
