Webb’s newest look at NGC 6072 reveals an unusual, asymmetrical scene, potentially caused by a binary star system (two stars orbiting one another)!
This image is from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and it highlights the multiple elliptical outflows jetting out from the center. Astronomers say this is evidence that there are likely at least two stars here. Specifically, a companion star is interacting with an aging star that had already begun to shed some of its outer layers of gas and dust.
