The Lagoon Nebula is a region where stars are actively forming about 4,400 light-years from Earth. This field-of-view, which spans roughly 35 light-years, shows the southern portion of a large bubble of hydrogen gas and a cluster of young stars ✨️

Infant Star Burning Bright
Tumblr media
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s high resolution, near-infrared look at Herbig-Haro 211 reveals exquisite detail of the outflow of a young star, an infantile analogue of our Sun. Herbig-Haro objects are formed when stellar winds or jets of gas spewing from newborn stars form shock waves colliding with nearby gas and dust at high speeds. The image showcases a series of bow shocks to the southeast (lower-left) and northwest (upper-right) as well as the narrow bipolar jet that powers them in unprecedented detail. Molecules excited by the turbulent conditions, including molecular hydrogen, carbon monoxide and silicon monoxide, emit infrared light, collected by Webb, that map out the structure of the outflows

M15: Dense Globular Star Cluster
Messier 15 is an immense swarm of over 100,000 stars. A 13 billion year old relic of the early formative years of our galaxy it's one of about 170 globular star clusters that still roam the halo of the Milky Way. Centered in this sharp reprocessed Hubble image, M15 lies some 35,000 light-years away toward the constellation Pegasus. Its diameter is about 200 light-years, but more than half its stars are packed into the central 10 light-years or so, making one of the densest concentrations of stars known. Hubble-based measurements of the increasing velocities of M15's central stars are evidence that a massive black hole resides at the center of the dense cluster. M15 is also known to harbour a planetary nebula. Called Pease 1 (aka PN Ps 1), it can be seen in this image as a small blue blob below and just right of center.

A POWERFUL ANGELIC BEING SPEEDING INTO THE SUN TO EXPLODE IT 6/11/23: REMEMBER NOT TO HELP GLOBAL SPACE AGENCIES PROMOTE SUN DIVING COMET DECEPTION PROPAGANDA. NOTICE NASA USA AIR FORCE NOAA PHOTO SHOP THE IMAGE USING GREY PIXELATED SQUARES TO HIDE IT… THEN THEY FADE IT OUT BEFORE IMPACTING THE SUN, WHY? BECAUSE NASA IS PART OF SATANS BEAST SYSTEM 666 AND DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW A TRUE GOD DO EXIST AND THESE CELESTIAL BODIES-BEINGS ARE OF HIS CREATIONS UNDER THE EXECUTIVE COMMAND OF JESUS CHRIST.

Saturn
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took its first near-infrared look at Saturn on June 25. The planet appears dark at this wavelength, as methane gas in its atmosphere absorbs sunlight — but its icy rings stay bright!
Of course Saturn brought its ring light 🪐

TRAPPIST-1 c, the second of seven known planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system, orbiting an ultracool red dwarf star (M dwarf) at a distance of about 1.5 million miles and 40 light-years away from Earth. TRAPPIST-1 c is an interesting exoplanet because it’s basically a Venus twin: It’s about the same size as Venus and receives a similar amount of radiation from its host star as Venus gets from the Sun. With a dayside temperature of roughly 380 kelvins (about 225 degrees Fahrenheit), TRAPPIST-1 c is now the coolest rocky exoplanet ever characterized based on thermal emission, Webb data suggests.
