Red Blue Filaments Nebula

A spider with 3-light-year-long legs seems like awfully bad news for arachnophobes, but if you're one of the 6% of Earth's population afflicted with fear of spiders, rest assured the Red Spider Nebula can't get you. Big as this bug is, it's also far away: a nice, safe distance of roughly 5,000 light years. And the legs? Just massive, bubble-like dust clouds inflated by gases that billow from the central white dwarf. Appropriately, this spidery shot was captured by NASA's Webb Telescope, whose Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) makes finely detailed imaging possible from astronomical distances.
