NASA shares Hubble and Webb views of the Cat’s Head region for Halloween
The Cat’s Head nickname refers to a small area within the Carina Nebula; Webb’s infrared views accompany Hubble’s visible-light image.
TLDR
For Halloween 2026, NASA shared Hubble and Webb views of a star-forming area within the Carina Nebula. That larger region is about 7,500 light-years from Earth. Webb produced near- and mid-infrared images, while Hubble captured a visible-light view. Cat’s Head Nebula is NASA’s nickname for the smaller area, not the name of the larger nebula. NASA says the complementary views are helping astronomers study star formation.
