This video zooms in on a dying star as captured by the James Webb Telescope. The video shows how the James Webb Telescope captured a dazzling and unprecedented image of the planetary nebula ‘NGC 3132’ located in the Southern Ring Nebula. It is more than 2,000 light-years away from Earth. This video, posted by the Canadian space agency on Twitter, shows how the James Webb Telescope focused on its target. Significantly, the project related to this telescope includes the Canadian Space Agency along with NASA.
WOW! , This video zooms through space to reveal @nasaweb‘s image of the Southern Ring Nebula, 2000 light-years from Earth. Canada’s Fine Guidance Sensor allowed the telescope to point at and focus on its target.

The video zooms through space to reveal an image of the Southern Ring Nebula, 2000 light-years away from Earth, crediting NASA, ESA, CSA, STSCI and the Webb ERO production team. It has been told that with the help of Canada’s fine guidance sensor, the telescope focused on its target.
This picture was released last week along with other pictures. NASA has tried to tell from this picture that when a star dies, what is the landscape around it. How far this star is from the earth, you can understand that there are 5.8 trillion miles in one light year and it is 2 thousand light years away from the earth. The scientist involved in James Webb’s team had said that even though a star is dying, it is also the beginning of many new stars.
The picture was captured by the James Webb Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). The James Webb Telescope was built by aerospace giant Northrop Grumman Corp and is slated to launch into space in December 2021 from French Guiana for NASA and its European and Canadian partners. Since then this telescope was setting itself up there. Last week, NASA launched a series of pictures taken by it. The James Webb is the most powerful space telescope ever built. Astronomers are confident that this will usher in a new era of discovery.
