    Space ripple! NASA James Webb Space Telescope captures WEIRD rings around a star

    The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has managed to capture an extremely strange phenomenon.
    The NASA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already built its reputation for capturing unimaginable sights from distant space.
    The rings eerily resemble a water ripple.
    The star observed by the NASA James Webb Space Telescope is called WR140.
    “These two stars orbit each other in very elliptical orbits.
    These dust move outwards at an equal speed and when the star's light falls on them, it looks like a cosmic ripple or a space ring.
