    Red Spider Nebula

    Handout photo dated on October 26, 2025 shows Red Spider Nebula. Using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured never-before-seen details of the Red Spider Nebula, a planetary nebula, in this image released on Oct. 26, 2025. NIRCam is Webb’s primary near-infrared imager, providing high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy for a wide variety of investigations. Webb’s new view of the Red Spider Nebula reveals for the first time the full extent of the nebula’s outstretched lobes, which form the ‘legs’ of the spider. These lobes, shown in blue, are traced by light emitted from H2 molecules, which contain two hydrogen atoms bonded together. Stretching over the entirety of NIRCam’s field of view, these lobes are shown to be closed, bubble-like structures that each extend about 3 light-years. Outflowing gas from the center of the nebula has inflated these massive bubbles over thousands of years. Photo by ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, J. H. Kastner (Rochester Institute of Technolo via ABAC

      Astronomy Themed Town of Pingtang - China

      A woman tidies up a room in a sci-fi style homestay in Kedu Town of Pingtang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province on February 19, 2025. In 2007, Pingtang County launched a relocation program that involved 6,653 rural residents from Kedu and Tangbian townships. The program was implemented in order to prepare for the construction of the FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), also known as the "China Sky Eye." Located in a naturally deep and round karst depression in Guizhou, FAST was completed in 2016 and started formal operations in 2020. Kedu Township started a plan to transform itself into an astronomy-themed town from September 2015, taking advantage of its proximity to the FAST. Many relocated rural residents have found jobs or started their own businesses in the town. Today's Kedu Town is full of sense of science, technology and future with landmarks such as experience planetarium, time tower, interstellar community, astronomical time village and others.
