Webb has captured the haunting “Exposed Cranium” nebula—an otherworldly cloud shaped by a dying star that looks remarkably like a brain inside a skull.
Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and backward and deforms inside the skull after spaceflight.
Scientists examined brain MRI scans of astronauts and found microgravity causes upward and backward brain shifts, which gradually take months to recover after returning to Earth.
The nebula is possibly being produced by a type of unstable star called a Wolf–Rayet star.
The nebula was formed when a star went supernova 5,000 light-years from Earth.

Before humans sent the first dogs and chimps into space, there was genuine fear: Can a living creature evolved for gravity survive in sustained zero-G? Many posited that the result would be fatal, as ...
They say travel broadens your mind but, if you’re travelling into space, it could displace your brain. Results of new study add to a growing body of evidence that astronauts’ brains change position ...
