Webb's penetrating infrared gaze has now revealed the true identity of the glow as a face-on, distant spiral galaxy. It has a protruding central bulge, shown in blue, where older stars reside. The ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope unveiled a stunning new image from the farthest reaches of space. This groundbreaking image showcases Herbig-Haro 49/50, a jet of gas and air emitted by a star that ...

Webb’s exquisite details reveal a chance, random alignment of a protostellar outflow and a distant spiral galaxy. When we observe the universe, we're looking at a three-dimensional space projected ...

Enhanced imaging from JWST's Near-Infrared Camera and Mid-Infrared Instrument has led to the realization that the object is actually a spiral galaxy making the perfect cameo. Like other Herbig-Haro ...

A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object (located within our Milky Way) with a more distant, face-on spiral galaxy in ...

Herbig-Haro objects like this one aren’t rare, but they do only occur under very specific circumstances related during a star’s earliest phases, when it is known as a protostar. A protostar ...

A 'cosmic coincidence' leads to one of the most amazing images ever captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

New James Webb Space Telescope captures a "cosmic tornado" with imagery of the dramatic outflow from a newly formed star.

NASA's James Webb Mission Team has captured an incredible view of a galaxy and protostar outflow resembling the dessert treat ...

The image reveals an outflow of hot gas from a newborn star — known as a Herbig-Haro object — situated about 625 light-years from Earth in the constellation Chamaeleon. This stunning plume of ...

Herbig-Haro objects are glowing clouds of gas and dust shaped by newborn stars or protostars. They form when jets of charged particles, ejected from young stars at immense speeds, slam into ...
