Hace 1 día · Image: Serpens Nebula (NIRCam) In this image of the Serpens Nebula from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers found a grouping of aligned protostellar outflows within one small region (the top left corner). Serpens is a reflection nebula, which means it’s a cloud of gas and dust that does not create its own light, but instead ...

Hace 1 día · Webb has captured a stellar phenomenon for the first time. See how those bright red, clumpy streaks in the top left are all slanted in the same direction to the same degree? They show aligned protostellar outflows, or jets of gas from newborn stars. “Astronomers have long assumed that as clouds collapse to form stars, the stars will tend to spin in the same direction,” said principal ...

Hace 1 día · Serpens (NIRCam) For the first time, a phenomenon astronomers have long hoped to directly image has been captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). In this stunning image of the Serpens Nebula, the discovery lies in the northern area (seen at the upper left) of this young, nearby star-forming region.
