This is NGC 1514 aka the Crystal Ball Nebula -- a planetary nebula -- newly imaged by #JWST
It's in the #constellation #Taurus which we covered in Season 1: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/taurus-the-bull/

Almost the Center of our Galaxy
-----------------------------------------------
I really wanted to get as close as possible to the milky way center as possible for my latitude.
This was as close to the horizon as possible before dawn.
It was worth the struggle of waking up at 3:30 AM at this remote location, because I got to test my new portable wide-angle setup for the first time :)

#UMPlus - The Milky Way over Baobab Avenue
https://www.universomagico.net/2025/04/la-via-lactea-sobre-baobabs-avenue.html
This image taken from Baobab Avenue in Morondava, Madagascar, shows the majestic band of our Milky Way Galaxy in the sky. The silhouettes in the foreground are baobab trees, which have unusual barrel-shaped trunks and are known for their longevity. Their scientific name is Adansonia, a genus in.....

Explanation:
What happens when a star runs out of nuclear fuel? For stars like our Sun, the center condenses into a white dwarf while the outer atmosphere is expelled into space to appear as a planetary nebula. The expelled outer atmosphere of planetary nebula NGC 1514 appears to be a jumble of bubbles -- when seen in visible light. But the view from the James Webb Space Telescope in infrared, as featured here, confirms a different story: in this light the nebula shows a distinct hourglass shape, which is interpreted as a cylinder seen along a diagonal. If you look closely at the center of the nebula, you can also see a bright central star that is part of a binary system. More observations might better reveal how this nebula is evolving and how the central stars are working together to produce the interesting cylinder and bubbles observed.

Behold the Pink Moon.
You’ll note, of course, that it’s not pink. “Pink” is just the name for the moon in April. This one I captured with the ASI678MC. The full disk fits pretty nicely with the Askar FRA400 + 678, though I do need to worry more about it drifting out of frame sooner.
Best 35% of 500 images, 2x drizzle, stacked & sharpened in PlanetarySystemStacker, edited in Affinity Photo (levels, curves, etc.).
