Miracles of the universe

A field of bright gas surrounds a dense dark cloud where young stars are exploding to take their place in the universe.

4,444 They join about 500,000 other theater stars of various ages, sizes and skin tones.

This is the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, a rush-hour metropolis that makes this quiet corner of our solar system a frontier outpost by comparison.

Explore the new features – and mysteries – that NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed with its unprecedented infrared view of the turbulent region and what it means for with astronomy documents.

A global image from the James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) shows a 50 light-year wide section of the Milky Way's dense center.

An estimated 500,000 stars shine in this image of the Sagittarius C (Sgr C) region, along with several unidentified features.

The vast region of ionized hydrogen, shown in cyan, envelops a very dense infrared dark cloud, blocking light from distant stars.

Interesting needle-shaped structure upon release of ionized hydrogen does not show uniform orientation.

The researchers note that the ionized region spans a surprising range, about 25 light-years.

Webb Space Telescope reveals new things at the heart of the Milky Way: The latest images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveal a dense cluster of galaxies, including unprecedented features that astronomers have yet to explain.

It shows part of the core in unprecedented detail.

The star-forming region, named Sagittarius C (Sgr C), lies about 300 light-years from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

dark infrared cloud Among the estimated 500,000 stars in the image is a protostar cluster – stars that are still forming and gaining mass – creating rash-like lines in the middle of the dark infrared cloud.

At the center of this young star cluster is a known giant protostar, 30 times more massive than our Sun.

The cloud where the protostars appear is so dense that light from the stars behind it cannot reach the Webb, making it appear less populated when in fact it is one of the most densely populated areas .

Most people have photos.

Smaller dark infrared clouds dot the image, looking like holes in the star field.

This is where future stars will form.

New findings with NIRcam's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument Webb also captured large-scale emissions from ionized hydrogen surrounding the underside of the dark cloud, shown in cyan in the image.

Normally, Crowe says, this is the result of energetic photons emitted from young, massive stars, but the vast extent of the region highlighted by Webb is a surprise that deserves further study.

Another feature of the region that Crowe plans to examine in more detail are needle-shaped structures in ionized hydrogen, which appear to be oriented chaotically in many directions.

Investigating the Galactic Center The galactic center is a crowded and chaotic place.

Rubén Fedriani, a co-researcher on the project at the Instituto Astrofísica de Andalucía in Spain, said there are clouds of chaotic, magnetic gas that form stars, which then influence the surrounding gas by winds, rays and rays.

and their effects.

"Webb has given us a lot of data about this extreme environment and we're just starting to think about it"

What is the James Webb Space Telescope ?

The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's first space science observatory.

She conducts research on our solar system, explores distant worlds around other stars, and probes the mysterious structure and origins of our universe.

Webb is an international program led by NASA, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency.
