The two telescopes offer complementary views of the shadowy form, nicknamed the Cat's Head Nebula, which reflects the "magical" process of star formation. Hubble's visible-light view shows the cat as a dark, elongated dust pillar and hints of young forming stars, while Webb's infrared-light imagery unveils many stars and other hidden details.
