Known as NGC 6523 or the Lagoon Nebula, Messier 8 is a giant cloud ... In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula ...
Powerful jets and radiation winds from two protostars are slamming into the nebulosity around them, sculpting the nebula.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have observed enigmatic rings in the planetary nebula NGC 1514, visible in the mid-infrared band. Results of the new observations ...
Trained on the spectacular Flame Nebula, the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes went hunting for the smallest stars in ...
A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows a stunning and fashionable sight: the Sombrero Galaxy, named for its resemblance to the traditional Mexican hat. With its wide, flat shape ...
This infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.
But JWST is sensitive to infrared light, which it sees as heat. The telescope went looking for relatively warm and bright young brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula, whose dense dust and gas proved no ...
The 1840s eruption created the Homunculus Nebula, transforming this binary star system into a unique object. Its cause remains unknown. The giant red nebula (NGC 2014) and its smaller blue ...
But the Webb telescope, which views faint infrared light (detected as heat), revealed these deep space objects. Three of the low mass objects in the Flame Nebula revealed by the James Webb Space ...
