The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just given us a front-row seat to a stellar "brain scan," and honestly, it’s as eerie as it is beautiful.
NASA recently released new images of PMR 1 (see above), a nebula that looks so much like a glowing brain tucked inside a transparent skull that astronomers have officially nicknamed it the "Exposed Cranium" nebula. PMR 1 is located in the southern constellation Vela (the Sails) and is not a great target for visual observers with a very low surface brightness and an integrated visual magnitude of +14.5 to +15.2. The central star is roughly +16.5 magnitude.
