The James Webb Space Telescope took a detailed photograph of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula.
This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to the NASA website.
The pillars of creation are huge pillars of dense dust and gas surrounding a central void. They were photographed using the Hubble telescope in 1995.
The new image will help scientists detect young stars born in this location, as well as more accurately count the amount of dust and gas.
As mentioned, the telescope can “peek” through the clouds and see what’s behind the clouds, thanks to its near-infrared camera (NIRCam).
Thanks to Webb’s images, researchers will be able to develop models of the star formation mechanism.
As reported by Ukrinform, the most powerful James Webb telescope worth $10 billion was launched into space at the end of December. Among the main objectives of the observatory is the study of the first exoplanets, protostars.
