Powerful jets and radiation winds from two protostars are slamming into the nebulosity around them, sculpting the nebula.
The Necklace Nebula, formed by two doomed stars, glows with bright gas clumps like a cosmic diamond ring. Located 15,000 light-years away in the Sagitta constellation, it shines as a stunning ...
The telescope went looking for relatively warm and bright young brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula, whose dense dust and gas proved no match for its infrared detectors. An uncropped view of the image.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has probed deep into the dusty shroud of a young nebula alight with star formation on the hunt for "failed star" brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs are stellar ...
The bright, visible component of the system is a giant star of spectral type A0III, while the nebula-generating companion is now a hot, sub-luminous O-type star. Previous observations of NGC 1514 ...
(Beverly Lynds was an astronomer who catalogued both bright nebulas – BN – and dark nebulas – DN – in the 1960s) How does the ...
The bright orange arc is a shock-front where an ... polarized radio waves coming from the cold dust in the heart of the nebula — dust too cold for even JWST to detect. The polarization of ...
