"Breathtaking" images of a stellar nursery in the Orion Nebula taken by the James Webb Space Telescope are revealing intricate details about how stars and planetary systems form.
"We are blown away by the breathtaking images of the Orion Nebula. We started this project in 2017, so we have been waiting more than five years to get these data," Peeters said. Webb, however, detects the infrared light of the cosmos, which allows observers to see through these layers of dust, revealing the action happening deeply inside the Orion Nebula, the release said. The images are the most detailed and sharpest taken of the nebula -- which is situated in the Orion constellation 1,350 light-years away from Earth -- and the latest offering from the Webb telescope, which began operating in July.
"We have never been able to see the intricate fine details of how interstellar matter is structured in these environments, and to figure out how planetary systems can form in the presence of this harsh radiation. These images reveal the heritage of the interstellar medium in planetary systems," said Emilie Habart, an associate professor at Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale in France.
