James Webb's journey of discovery has only just begun.
NASA explains that its mosaic of Stephan's Quintet is its largest image to date.
Located approximately 290 million light-years away, Stephan's Quintet is found in the constellation Pegasus. It was the first compact galaxy group ever discovered way back in 1877.James Webb has uncovered baby stars behind the"star-forming region NGC 3324 behind the Carina nebula, which is located 7,600 lightyears away."Webb’s new view gives us a rare peek into stars in their earliest, rapid stages of formation.
The Carina Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the sky, in the southern constellation Carina. This incredible image shows off one of James Webb's Near Infrared Camera, NIRCam, most crucial capabilities — it has the capacity to peer through dust clouds to observe newly-forming stars. No wonder NASA saved it for last.The U.S. space agency also revealed a mid-infrared view of the Carina nebula , showing "dusty planet-forming disks around young stars.
Webb is uniquely positioned to solve some of the universe's most enduring mysteries by providing new data on distant worlds, the structures of the very early universe, and elusive forcesIn the context of James Webb peering at 13-billion-year-old galaxies, a few weeks or months is nothing. But we really can't wait to see what's next.
