This cosmic pearl necklace is Supernova 1987A, the remains of an exploded star. The orange splotch in the middle contains an entire Sun’s worth of cold dust. Astronomers will target SN1987A with #NASAWebb to learn more about that dust: go.nasa.gov/3vPg8sl
ALT Astronomers combined observations from three different observatories (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, red; Hubble, green; Chandra X-ray Observatory, blue) to produce this colorful, multiwavelength image of the intricate remains of Supernova 1987A.
