James Webb Telescope, Chandra Observatory snap astonishing Tarantula Nebula image

[ad_1] NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has teamed up with the Chandra X-ray Observatory to show an astonishing view of the Tarantula Nebula. Last year, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope snapped the Tarantula Nebula, also called 30 Doradus, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small neighbouring galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy. It has long been studied by astronomers to better understand how stars like the Sun are born and evolve. Now, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Telescope have teamed up to reveal an astonishing view of the Tarantula Nebula. The new composite image combines X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and infrared images from the James Webb Space Telescope to show a stellar view of the Nebula."The X-rays (royal blue and purple) reveal gas that...

James Webb Space Telescope snaps NGC 346 that is ‘furiously forming stars’

[ad_1] The new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope is all about solving the mysteries of NGC346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in near our Milky Way Galaxy, says ESA. The universe is full of mysteries. Some are horrifying and some are awesome. To find out what is going on in outer space, NASA and ESA have deployed a number of telescopes and the newest one is the James Webb Space Telescope. Its biggest job is to look back in time to find out about the origin of our universe. The new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope is all about solving the mysteries of NGC346, which is one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies. However, the new findings by Webb have made NGC346 a bit less mysterious. NCG 346 is located in the Small Magellan...
