    Pillars of Creation Star in New Visualization from NASA's Hubble and Webb Telescopes

    HANDOUT - The Pillars of Creation are one of the most iconic and beautiful sights in deep space - and now NASA has released a 3D visualisation allowing us to really see inside the most stunning part of the Eagle Nebula. Made famous in 1995 by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the Pillars of Creation are giant clouds where stars are born. Using data from NASA's Hubble and James Webb space telescopes, astronomers have created a comprehensive and detailed multiwavelength look at these towering celestial structures. By flying past and amongst the pillars, viewers experience their three-dimensional structure and see how they look different in the Hubble visible-light view versus the Webb infrared-light view," explained principal visualization scientist Frank Summers of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, who led the movie development team for NASA's Universe of Learning. The four Pillars of Creation, made primarily of cool molecular hydrogen and dust, are being eroded by the fierce winds and p

            James Webb Telescope Finds Most Distant Known Galaxy

            James Webb Telescope Finds Most Distant Known Galaxy

            Handout infrared image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (also called Webb or JWST) was taken by the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES, program. The NIRCam data was used to determine which galaxies to study further with spectroscopic observations. One such galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the pullout), was determined to be at a redshift of 14.32 (+0.08/-0.20), making it the current record-holder for the most distant known galaxy. This corresponds to a time less than 300 million years after the big bang. In the background image, blue represents light at 0.9, 1.15, and 1.5 microns (filters F090W + F115W + F150W), green is 2.0 and 2.77 microns (F200W + F277W), and red is 3.56, 4.1, and 4.44 microns (F356W + F410M + F444W). The pullout image shows light at 0.9 and 1.15 microns (F090W + F115W) as blue, 1.5 and 2.0 microns (F150W + F200W) as green, and 2.77 microns (F277W) as red. Photo by Nasa via ABACAPRESS.COM
              NASA’s Webb Finds Signs of Possible Aurorae on Isolated Brown Dwarf

              NASA’s Webb Finds Signs of Possible Aurorae on Isolated Brown Dwarf

              Handout photo - This artist concept portrays the brown dwarf W1935, which is located 47 light-years from Earth. Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope found infrared emission from methane coming from W1935. This is an unexpected discovery because the brown dwarf is cold and lacks a host star; therefore, there is no obvious source of energy to heat its upper atmosphere and make the methane glow. The team speculates that the methane emission may be due to processes generating aurorae, shown here in red. Infrared emission from methane suggests atmospheric heating by auroral processes. These findings are being presented at the 243rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society in New Orleans. To help explain the mystery of the infrared emission from methane, the team turned to our solar system. Methane in emission is a common feature in gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. The upper-atmosphere heating that powers this emission is linked to aurorae. Photo by NASA, ESA, CSA, and L. Hustak (STScI) via AB

                NASA's Webb Reveals New Features in Heart of Milky Way

                Handout photo - The latest image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows a portion of the dense center of our galaxy in unprecedented detail, including never-before-seen features astronomers have yet to explain. The star-forming region, named Sagittarius C (Sgr C), is about 300 light-years from the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A. Approximate outlines help to define the features in the Sagittarius C (Sgr C) region. Astronomers are studying data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to understand the relationship between these features, as well as other influences in the chaotic galaxy center. The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it. Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Canadian Space Agency.

                      Stunning First Full-Colour Images From Euclid Telescope

                      Stunning First Full-Colour Images From Euclid Telescope

                      HANDOUT - Irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid space mission unveiled its first five full-colour images of the cosmos on Tuesday, November 7, 2023. Launched in July, Euclid is a cutting-edge telescope tasked with mapping a third of the extragalactic sky, shedding light on how dark matter and dark energy shape our universe. This ambitious mission is unique in its ability to capture razor-sharp astronomical images across a vast expanse of the sky, offering unprecedented insights into the far reaches of the universe. The initial set of images serves as a testament to Euclid's unparalleled capability to construct the most extensive 3D map of the universe to date. Among the images, the most captivating is a panoramic view of the Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, situated in the Orion constellation approximately 1,375 light-years away. The nebula, with its striking equine shape, stands as the nearest giant star-forming region to Earth. Positioned just south of the prominent
