To celebrate the anniversary of Webb's launch, NASA has shared a new image of a stellar nursery giving birth to sun-like stars.
Published Jul 12th, 2023 4:21PM EDTIt has been exactly one year since NASA revealed the first batch of images captured by the James Webb space telescope. These images showcased the telescope’s strength and effectiveness at studying the distant universe. Now to celebrate the anniversary of the telescope’s first data batch, NASA has revealed a new image of a stellar nursery, and it’s just as breathtaking as those first Webb images from last year.
Over the past year, the James Webb has more than deliver on its promise to help us look deeper into our universe, which you can read more in-depth about in our. This newest image continues to conduct that mission, providing new depth in our studies of our stars are born. The subject of these observations is the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, which is the closest star-forming region to Earth. It’s pretty small, especially in comparison to more active stellar nurseries that James Webb has observed. But, it’s still densely packed with all the materials that are needed to keep pumping out new stars.With almost a year’s worth of data behind it, too, James Webb has really broadened humanity’s sense of the cosmos.
“Webb’s first year of science has not only taught us new things about our universe, but it has revealed the capabilities of the telescope to be greater than our expectations, meaning future discoveries will be even more amazing.
