Pillar of JWST creation
While conducting scientific observations, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues its “visitative” journey, continuing to bring us different interpretations of well-known space objects. This time, James Webb aimed the camera at a stellar cradle called “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle Nebula at Serpentis, about 6,500 light-years from Earth. This area was originally photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, and later became one of the Hubble classics.Also in 2014, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Space Telescope, Hubble also featured a third swapped This Pillar of the creation was re-shot with the Generation Wide Field Camera (WFPC3).
Pillar of creation
In the visible light of Hubble (above left, this is the 2014 version), the Pillars of Creation are in a “misty” cosmic dust, with a translucent dark nebula like a black curtain in the foreground, and within The Birth of the original planet is looming. However, in the infrared band of JWST, it carries a completely different interpretation: JWST can not only see through cosmic dust, show the background of the starry sky, but also “illuminate” the original black nebula, showing the various types of nebula itself. Variations and details.
The small red stars that are now clearly visible in the nebula are the “bright spots” between them. These primitive stars, which were barely visible, can now not only see their appearance but also see how they interact with the surrounding gas. and interaction with dust, giving scientists a chance to see the planet’s formation process.
