NASA released a stunning new image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex on Wednesday to mark the first year of the James Webb Space Telescope's scientific operations.
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.'scientific operations with the release of a beautiful new image.
It is the nearest star-forming region to Earth, and its proximity at 390 light-years allows for a detailed shot. JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE DETECTS MOST DISTANT ACTIVE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE EVER SEEN The darkest areas of the picture show thick dust cocoons still-forming protostars and red bipolar jets of molecular hydrogen appear horizontally across the upper third and vertically on the right. The jets occur when a star first bursts through its natal envelope of cosmic dust, shooting out a pair of opposing jets into space.
