The Large Tarantula Nebula, located only 161,000 light-years from the Milky Way, has been examined in the dwarf galaxy of the Large Magellanic Cloud by the James Webb Telescope. This is what we see there.
During the first two months of his scientific activity, James Webb I really enjoyed his comments here a lot JupiterFeatured extrasolar planet, etc. Among all his goals, there are quite a few spiral galaxies who passed by eyes Infrared sensitive. Every time, an unusual sight reveals clouds Gas And dust are interconnected throughout the galaxy. penetration point of view JWST It brings researchers closer to the deepest secretsUniverse.
The Tarantula Nebula surveyed by Nirkam
With this new photo, James-Webb reveals the hidden side of a file nebula Very active and relatively close to Earth: 30 Doradus, known as Tarantula Nebula. pointing tospider This is due to its impressive shape when observed in the visual. However, as rightly explained NASARather, it should be seen as a tarantula’s nest. More precisely, the tarantula terrier is lined with threads …
A burrow dug into the ground, because it’s really a hollow that we notice in the heart of a cloud. It was hollowed out by the breaths of thousands ofstars Focused in the block, visible in blue on the Nircam instrument image (near the infrared camera). Young stars are radiant and fullenergy Who do not stop pushing gangs issue in which they were born, several tens of thousands of years ago.
So what we see is only part of the massive gas network that runs through the entire galaxy, in this case A dwarf galaxy Very close and in interaction with Milky WayLarge Magellanic Cloud.
The Tarantula Nebula in Merry’s Eyes
On the other image of the same area, this time translated from mid-infrared observations made with Mary (other James webcam) The star cluster is no longer visible. Instead, we can admire unprecedented detail – what a marvel! – inscriptions in dark matter And the cold that is the vast cloud sculpted by the stars that hide there.
Since we were talking about a terrier, the space telescope Here it somehow reveals to us the underground environment that underlies this highly active region of our ocean. Its dark and cloudy land, and its interconnected threads from which new stars. Moreover, if you look closely, you can see many “young” stars that have been caught trying to get rid of Coat Gas.
An amazing new cosmic spectacle that everyone presents telescope James Webb.
