Herbig-Haro 46/47 : Image From The James Webb Space Telescope

NASA recently released a high-resolution image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), showing two actively forming stars known as Herbig-Haro 46/47.

  • These young stars are hidden within an orange-white blob surrounded by gas and dust, indicating their early stages of growth.
  • They will give insights into the mass accumulation of stars over time.
  • Observing the orange lobes helps understand how stars ejected and consumed gas, shaping the lobes over thousands of years.

James Webb Space Telescope:

  • It is a large, infrared telescope designed to observe the most distant objects in the universe.
  • It is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.
  • It is a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
