An image shows planetary nebula Tc 1 as observed by the James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), combining nine filters spanning wavelengths from 5.6 to 25.5 microns, well beyond what the human eye can detect. Blue tones represent hotter gas at shorter mid-infrared wavelengths; red tones trace cooler material at longer wavelengths. The image was processed by Katelyn Beecroft using PixInsight.
