The central region of a planetary nebula is shown in a box. Labels indicate “Shock waves”, “Outflow collisions”, and an “Ionised jet” in the dust on both sides of the nebula. Close to the centre, “Dusty torus” and “Ionised torus” are marked. In the very middle, a faint dot inside a blotchy pink cloud is labelled “Dying star”. Bright stars surround the nebula and can be seen through the dust layers.

Three vertically stacked astronomical photographs compare the same section of The Carina Nebula (catalogued as NGC 3372), each labeled with the telescope or observatory that captured it. Top: Labeled "La Silla Observatory," the nebula appears in muted brownish-orange tones, with many stars visible but slightly blurred. A red rectangle highlights a small protruding formation at the nebula’s edge, and a zoomed-in circular inset to the right shows this area with low detail and a soft, hazy outline. Middle: Labeled "Hubble Telescope," the nebula displays more vivid colors, including blues, purples, and reds. The same protruding formation is highlighted by a red rectangle, and the zoomed-in inset shows more distinct edges and texture compared to the La Silla image. Bottom: Labeled "James Webb," the nebula appears in sharper detail with golden-brown ridges against a deep blue star-filled background. The same protrusion is marked with a red rectangle, and the zoomed-in inset shows the most clarity, revealing fine structure and a greater number of small stars in the background.
