Webb's penetrating infrared gaze has now revealed the true identity of the glow as a face-on, distant spiral galaxy. It has a protruding central bulge, shown in blue, where older stars reside. The ...

The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) has captured stunning views of Herbig Haro object 797 (HH 797). “Herbig-Haro objects are luminous regions surrounding newborn stars ...

Due to the close proximity of this Herbig-Haro object to Earth, this new composite infrared image of the outflow from a young star allows researchers to examine details on small spatial scales ...

This new composite image combining observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) provides a high-resolution view to explore the ...

A powerful “Cosmic Tornado” has received a high-definition glow-up thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The new look at Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) released today also answers a ...

A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object (located within our Milky Way) with a more distant, face-on spiral galaxy in ...

A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object with a more distant spiral galaxy in the background. Herbig-Haro 49/50 gives ...

Herbig-Haro objects are created when newly forming stars (aka protostars) shoot powerful jets of ionized gas out into space. As one of these jets shears through interstellar gas and dust ...

Herbig-Haro objects are glowing clouds of gas and dust shaped by newborn stars or protostars. They form when jets of charged particles, ejected from young stars at immense speeds, slam into ...

Herbig-Haro objects are created when newly forming stars (aka protostars) shoot powerful jets of ionized gas out into space. As one of these jets shears through interstellar gas and dust, it energizes ...
