A lion's face in space
Webb's new pictures show a giant cloud of gas and dust that looks like a lion's head.
The James Webb Space Telescope took new pictures of a lion. But this lion is not an animal. It is a nebula, a giant cloud of gas and dust. Space scientists shared the pictures on August 10, 2026.
People call it the Lion Nebula because of its shape. It is about 5,000 light-years away from Earth. It is in the part of the sky called Gemini.
