Dwarf planet Eris situated near Pluto in the Kuiper Belt. Discovered in 2005, its atmosphere freezes into snow when it is farther from the Sun and thaws when it gets closer. Eris is slightly smaller than Pluto, but more massive.

The Red Spider Nebula viewed through the James Webb Space Telescope. It was produced by a star like our Sun reaching the end of its life and shedding its outer layers into space. Radiation from the star’s exposed core continues to ionize clouds of outflowing gas.
