A group of independent researchers, members of the PDRs4All project, responsible for observing massive stars, published on Tuesday, September 13, images Orion Nebula captured James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This celestial object is visible to the naked eye and is located approximately 1350 light years from Earth. Earth. The Orion Nebula was one of the first nebulae discovered by mankind.

Scientists have found a potentially habitable “Super-Earth”

Image taken James Webb it is more than a beautiful photograph of the sky. The PDRs4All project team, part of the Early Science Release program organized by those responsible for JWSTpublished details of star formation in Orion Nebula — after all, nebulae are breeding grounds for stars.

Among the points highlighted by the PDRs4All project is a star in the upper right corner surrounded by a disk of dust and gas. This star is affected by the radiation field of neighboring stars, which causes the disk to dissipate and form a “cocoon” surrounding the entire star system. Neptune’s orbit is marked at the bottom of the flare for size comparison.

In the left corner, two highlights are visible: at the top, a young star, still surrounded by the gas cloud that formed it. Just below is the star ?² Orion A, the brightest star in the image.

As one of the oldest nebulae recorded by mankind, Orion Nebula, located in the constellation … Orion, has been studied for centuries. Before James Webb Space TelescopeO Hubble also recorded a color image of a celestial body. Below you can see a comparison between the two telescopes and the first image of the nebula taken by Henry Drape in 1880.
