NGC 6072: The Beautiful Chaos of a Dying Star

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a hauntingly beautiful moment in the lifecycle of a star with its latest image of NGC 6072, a planetary nebula in the southern constellation Scorpius. What you see here is the spectacular final breath of a dying star — expanding clouds of gas and dust illuminated from within by its glowing core.
Rather than a simple spherical shell, NGC 6072 reveals a complex, multipolar structure: multiple outflows jet outward at different angles, forming lobes of glowing gas that push material into an equatorial disc. This unusual shape suggests the presence of at least one companion star interacting with the dying star — a celestial dance that dramatically shapes the nebula’s final form.
The colours in this print are more than just eye-catching — they encode real astrophysical detail. The red and orange hues trace cooler molecular gas (likely molecular hydrogen), while the brighter central glow marks the intensely heated, ionised gas surrounding the nebula’s core. The structures span several light-years, offering a window into the turbulent, transformative processes that follow a star’s death.
This NGC 6072 print is a tribute to cosmic impermanence — a vivid reminder that even in death, stars can shape the universe with breath-taking beauty. It brings to your home or workspace a moment of real astronomical drama and wonder, rendered in museum-grade detail and carefully framed by Skylit Studio.
Image captured by Webb’s NIRCam & MIRI instruments. Colours represent emissions from molecular gas and ionised material, revealing the late-life transformations of a Sun-like star.

Frequently asked questions

What Are The Deep Sky Prints?

The Deep Sky Collection is our curated selection of breathtaking astronomical visuals, drawn from the universe’s most awe-inspiring regions and phenomena. Most of these prints are based on real observations captured by cutting-edge space telescopes like NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, offering an authentic glimpse into the cosmos.

Unlike our personalised star and moon maps that mark life’s special milestones, this collection zooms out—showcasing distant galaxies, stellar nurseries, and cosmic collisions occurring light-years from Earth.

Each print reveals:

  • Stellar nurseries where stars are actively forming
  • Planetary nebulae and the spectacular aftermath of dying stars
  • Galaxies in motion—merging, colliding, and evolving across time
  • Protostellar jets and the raw energy of newborn suns

🖼️ While most visuals are created directly from infrared and multi-wavelength data, some pieces—like the Planetary Engulfment illustration—include a subtle degree of artistic interpretation, especially when visualising theoretical cosmic events not directly imaged.

Still, each piece remains grounded in astrophysical reality, informed by NASA data and the latest astronomical research. These are not generic digital recreations—they are windows into the invisible universe, where light beyond human sight has been translated into colour and form.

Perfect for astronomy lovers, science enthusiasts, and dreamers alike, the Deep Sky prints invite you to bring home a fragment of the infinite. Whether it’s the iconic Pillars of Creation or the dramatic outflows of Herbig-Haro 49/50, each piece tells a story written across space and time.

✨ Printed with professional LUCIA PRO II pigment inks on 260gsm Photo Lustre Paper, these gallery-quality prints match the exceptional finish of our star maps.
