We present images of the Vega planetary debris disk obtained at 15.5, 23, and 25.5 μ m with the Mid-Infrared Instrument on JWST. The debris system is remarkably symmetric, smooth, and centered accurately on the star. There is a broad Kuiper-belt-analog ring at ∼80–170 au that coincides with the plan...
