Cabo Cañaveral, Florida – He Webb Space Telescope He has captured a gas and dust plume that flows from a star in creation, with a spiral galaxy like an impressive backdrop.
The composite image seems that the overflow of the stellar material is the wavy wake of a rocket on its way to the galaxy. NASA and the European Space Agency published the photo on Monday.
The output flow is approximately 625 light years of the earth in one of the closest regions that form the stars of our dairy road galaxy, according to NASA. A light year is equivalent to almost 6 billion miles.
Throwed in 2021 as the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope, Webb observed the scene in the infrared. NASA said in a statement that it was “a lucky alignment” of the two unrelated objects.
NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope captured the same shot in 2006, with scientists and then calling the stellar jet “The Cosmic Tornado”. But it was too confusing to distinguish the background galaxy and other details. Webb is the largest and most powerful observatory ever released into space.
