  • NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured highly detailed images showing the complex layers of interstellar dust and gas.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided astronomers with unprecedented detailed views of interstellar dust and gas, as highlighted in a recent article by NDTV. Launched to study every phase of cosmic history, JWST's advanced infrared capabilities have allowed it to peer through cosmic dust clouds, revealing intricate structures of star-forming regions. The telescope's observations have captured images of the Carina Nebula, showcasing the birth of stars in vivid detail, and have also provided insights into the composition and behavior of interstellar medium, which includes gas and dust that fill the space between stars. These observations not only enhance our understanding of how stars form but also shed light on the lifecycle of cosmic dust, which plays a crucial role in the formation of planets and the chemistry of the universe.
