The James Webb Space Telescope has given astronomers a brand new view of a dying star known as the Eye of God Nebula.

Also known as the Helix Nebula, the object is one of the closest dying stars to Earth, and Webb has captured its streaming pillars of gas in intricate, infrared detail.

What's more, Webb's view gives us an insight into how our own Sun may one day end its life, about 5 billion years from now.
