Webb's penetrating infrared gaze has now revealed the true identity of the glow as a face-on, distant spiral galaxy. It has a ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope unveiled a stunning new image from the farthest reaches of space. This groundbreaking image showcases Herbig-Haro 49/50, a jet of gas and air emitted by a star that ...

The image reveals an outflow of hot gas from a newborn star — known as a Herbig-Haro object — situated about 625 light-years from Earth in the constellation Chamaeleon. This stunning plume of gas, ...

A powerful “Cosmic Tornado” has received a high-definition glow-up thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The new look at Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) released today also answers a ...

A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object (located within our Milky Way) with a more distant, face-on spiral galaxy in ...

What you're seeing here, according to NASA, is a "relatively rare celestial phenomenon" called a Herbig-Haro object. It's created when ionized gas expelled by a young star collides with the clouds ...

Herbig-Haro objects are glowing clouds of gas and dust shaped by newborn stars or protostars. They form when jets of charged particles, ejected from young stars at immense speeds, slam into ...

Due to the close proximity of this Herbig-Haro object to Earth, this new composite infrared image of the outflow from a young star allows researchers to examine details on small spatial scales ...

A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object with a more distant spiral galaxy in the background. Herbig-Haro 49/50 gives ...

Herbig-Haro objects are outflows of material produced by a star’s jets. The large outflows move through material, creating shock waves in space that heat the material; as the material cools ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has studied the puzzling Herbig-Haro object 49/50, created by a nearby forming star.
