Powerful jets and radiation winds from two protostars are slamming into the nebulosity around them, sculpting the nebula.
Scientists have been receiving X-ray signals from the Helix Nebula for decades, but now they believe it may hide a horrifying ...
A team of astronomers recently tapped into JWST’s capabilities to explore the smallest objects in the Flame Nebula.
Caption This image of the spectacular Sh2-54 nebula was taken in infrared light using ESO’s VISTA telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile. The clouds of dust and gas that are normally obvious ...
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 ...
The fact that there are two stars lurking at the heart of this butterfly-shaped nebula will be crucial, as we shall see. We can't see those two protostars in the JWST's Near-Infrared Camera image ...
The emission nebula, known as Sh2-284, is an immense region of gas and dust that fuels new star formation. It lacks elements ...
This collage of images from the Flame Nebula shows a near-infrared view from the Hubble Space Telescope on the left, with infrared views from the James Webb Space Telescope in the insets. (Image ...
Hubble’s latest image of the massive Sh2-284 nebula reveals young stars concealed within thick clouds of gas and dust. Using infrared imaging, astronomers have captured details previously ...
