The James Webb Space Telescope has observed a binary star system, capturing images of shells of cosmic dust emanating from it. The system, which is described as having a unique appearance, has been referred to as a "shelled" star and has drawn comparisons to a "spiderweb" due to its dusty rings. Some outlets have speculated about the system's unusual appearance, but others have dismissed notions of it being an "alien megastructure", suggesting instead that it provides insights into the origins of carbon dust in the galaxy.
