Show off great new photos he took James Webb space telescope The Orion Nebula, which is a mass of gas and stardust, resembles a massive object with wings in the middle of a bright star.
This nebula, located 1,350 light years from Earth, appears to be in an environment similar to that in which our solar system was born 4.5 billion years ago. Hence, the international researchers who released the groundbreaking images intend to study these data in order to better understand the conditions that prevailed when our system was formed.
The acquisition of these images is part of one of James Webb’s leading monitoring programs, involving more than 100 scientists from 18 countries, as well as the French National Center for Scientific Research, Western University in Canada and the University of Canada. Michigan.
“We were amazed by the wonderful images of the Orion Nebula,” said Western University astrophysicist Els Peters. “The new images allow us to better understand how massive stars transform their clouds of gas and dust.”
