  NASA Hubble Space Telescope Uncovers One of the Youngest Known Blue Straggler–White Dwarf Systems

  Italian astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a white dwarf orbiting a blue straggler star in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, located 15,300 light-years away. The rare system, among the youngest detected, sheds light on stellar mass transfer and offers vital clues to the evolution of binary stars in dense clusters.

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Reveals the Complex Structure of a Planetary Nebula

  NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the complex character of NGC 1514, a planetary nebula developing over at least 4,000 years. Only seen in infrared light, the nebula's rings now resemble "fuzzy" clusters set in twisted patterns. A network of sharper holes near the centre stars indicates where faster material punched through.
