Description

NGC 3132 is a bright and extensively studied planetary nebula in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at about 613 pc. or 2,000 light-years.

The Southern Ring Nebula was selected as one of the five cosmic objects observed by the James Webb Space Telescope as part of the release of its first official science images on July 12, 2022

The scientific data became available at the MAST Portal July 13, 2022. I mapped Red-F404N_F444W, Green-F356W, and Blue-F212N. This NIRCAM data is the cleanest I have ever worked with. No gradient noise, or color problems.
