Hubble and JWST images reveal cat-shaped cloud in Carina Nebula

Original: # PPOD : A ghostly feline shape emerges from the clouds of the Carina Nebula in these remarkable views from the Hubble S

New imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows a region of the Carina Nebula, roughly 7,500 light-years from Earth, where gas and dust form the shape of a cat sitting with its back turned. The SETI Institute shared the pictures, describing the ghostly feline figure emerging from the clouds, and space enthusiasts are sharing the striking views.

Why now: The striking resemblance of nebula gas formations to a sitting cat makes the images highly shareable.
