JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720): I. Imaging of the rings, globules, and arcs


Zoomed-in images of globules in the Ring Nebula. The locations of the three zoomed-in regions are indicated in Fig. C3. Globules are detected in H2 emission in the JWST NIRCam images and MIRI images, while some of them are seen in absorption against the diffuse ionized emission in the HST F502N and F658N images
