One of the most amazing James Webb Telescope images shows Star Formation in Dusty Ribbons of a star cluster NGC 346. Inspired to explore the cosmos with a telescope? Get your own telescope here 👉 amzn.to/49g9lvS #SpaceInspiration #AmazonAffiliate
The active star cluster NGC 346 is located within a nebula 200,000 light years away and is visible in this image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). Webb shows that there are more more building blocks for planets and stars than previously thought, in the form of clouds that are dense with dust and hydrogen. Two different forms of hydrogen may be seen in the gas arcs and plumes in this photograph. The more orange gas represents dense, molecular hydrogen, which is significantly colder at around -200 °C or less (roughly -300 °F), and associated dust, whereas the pink gas represents energetic hydrogen, which is typically as hot as around 10,000 °C (nearly 18,000 °F) or higher.
