"We think every dense, dusty region that we see, and most of the ones we don't see, look like this on the inside — we just have never been able to look inside them before."

While large portions of the pillars appear dark red in the Hubble image, the JWST image depicts most of the formation in golden and orange tones. This means that the visual light emitted by the pillars is longer wavelength (red) but a bit closer to the middle of the spectrum of infrared light depicted in the image.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen using infrared technology, and creating a time lapse of the phenomena.

The initial findings offer novel perspectives on the relationship between star formation and the evolution of galaxies.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has added another honor to its name by locating a record number of new stars in a faraway galaxy. Researchers claimed that the famous telescope captured 44 individual stars present in a galaxy 6.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured detailed images of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, revealing wood grain-like patterns in interstellar dust. These unprecedented 3D views offer new insights into star evolution and dust dynamics.

The shells of carbon-rich dust are expanding outward into space at the breakneck velocity of 1,600 miles per second.
