James Webb Telescope captures starlight nudging dust from a dying star into space

The James Webb Space telescope has captured an image of intense light from a star pushing multiple dust plumes into space. The propulsive effect of the starlight is what's known as radiation pressure. Radiation pressure is one of the factors preventing stars from collapsing under their own gravity and creates the bright smudged tails of comets as they pass close to the sun. But the new image is the most complete picture of the phenomenon taking place around a star.
