Cat’s Paw Nebula Poster

A vertically oriented poster with an image of the Cat’s Paw Nebula against a black background. Four roughly circular areas are toward the center of the frame: a small oval toward the top left, a large circle in the top center, and two ovals at bottom left and right. Each circular area, surrounded by brown filaments, glows a luminous blue. Toward the center are small, fiery red clumps scattered among the brown dust. Many yellow stars are spread throughout. Along the bottom is a series of thin vertical bars ranging from purple at left to blue, green, yellow, orange, and red at right. Bars are separated slightly, with black in between. Bar colors are brightest at the bottom, fading up to black. Brightness varies from bar to bar, giving the array an undulating feel. At upper right is text that reads, “National Aeronautics and Space Administration” and NASA’s blue, white, and red meatball insignia. Title text appears at lower left that says, “James Webb Space Telescope: Cat’s Paw Nebula.”
