为什么这个星云如此复杂?韦伯太空望远镜非常详细地拍摄了一个星云,该星云被认为是从一颗类似太阳的恒星中出现的。ngc6072已经被分解成一个更不寻常和复杂的行星状星云的例子。这张特色图像是在红外线下拍摄的,红色突出了冷氢气。对先前NGC 6072图像的研究表明,在混乱的气体中有几个可能的流出物和两个圆盘,而新的韦伯图像显示了新的特征,可能包括一个圆盘的边缘突出在中央左侧。一个主要的起源假说认为,星云的复杂性是由靠近中心的多恒星系统中的一颗恒星的多次爆发引起或增强的。

Why is this nebula so complex? The Webb Space Telescope has imaged a nebula in great detail that is thought to have emerged from a Sun-like star. NGC 6072 has been resolved into one of the more unusual and complex examples of planetary nebula. The featured image is in infrared light with the red color highlighting cool hydrogen gas. Study of previous images of NGC 6072 indicated several likely outflows and two disks inside the jumbled gas, while the new Webb image resolves new features likely including one disk's edge protruding on the central left. A leading origin hypothesis holds that the nebula's complexity is caused or enhanced by multiple outbursts from a star in a multi-star system near the center.
