close-up of the central parts of the Ring nebula

Close-up of the central parts of the image. The brightest star here is the dying central star. It has used up all its fuel and is now cooling down. The star will become a white dwarf, an inert remnant of a star. The fainter stars in the image are not related. Credit: JWST/NIRcam.
