New Webb pictures reveal spectacular view of Orion Nebula James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) has again demonstrated its incredible power by capturing the most detailed and sharpest images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula. This stellar nursery is situated in the constellation Orion
The inner region of the Orion Nebula as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam instrument. This is a composite image from several filters that represents emissions from ionized gas, molecular gas, hydrocarbons, dust, and scattered starlight. Most prominent is the Orion Bar, a wall of dense gas and dust that runs from the top left to the bottom right in this image, and that contains the bright star θOrionis A.
These images have been obtained as part of the Early Release Science program Photodissociation Regions for All on JWST. Co-led by Peeters, French National Centre for Scientific Research scientist Olivier Berné, and Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale associate professor Emilie Habart, PDRs4All is an international collaboration that involves a team of more than one hundred scientists in 18 countries.
Young star inside globule: When dense clouds of gas and dust become gravitationally unstable, they collapse into stellar embryos that gradually grow more massive until they can start nuclear fusion in their core – they start to shine. This young star is still embedded in its natal cloud. The newly released images reveal numerous spectacular structures inside the nebula, down to scales comparable to the size of the Solar System.
