The James Webb Space Telescope captured the most detailed infrared images ever known The “Horsehead” Nebula. It is reported to be one of the most majestic and recognizable objects in the night sky National Astronomy and Space Administration (NASA).
Pictures show above “Horse Mane” or the edge of this symbol Nebula Captures the complexity of the region in an entirely new light, with unprecedented spatial resolution. It reveals, for the first time, small-scale structures at the edge of a giant cloud of gas and dust.
This image of the Horsehead Nebula, taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, focuses on a portion of the horse's “mane” 0.8 light-years across. It was taken by Webb's NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera).
The The “Horsehead” Nebula It is located about 1,300 light years away Orion constellation. Iconic “The Shadow of a Horse's Head” Rising from what appear to be rusty waves Stellar foam.
“An international team Astronomers 's small-scale structures of the luminescence result were revealed for the first time.Horse's head'”, it was reported NASA It is a statement.

When UV light evaporates Star dust cloudThe particles are thrown off by the flow of hot gas, a process now telescoped web Shown in action.
The The “Horsehead” Nebula It originated from a slope A cloud of interstellar matter And it shines because it is illuminated Hot star closer The Gas clouds around that The “Horsehead” Nebula They have already decayed, but the protruding pillar is made of thick material, so it is very difficult to corrode.
This image of the Horsehead Nebula taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope focuses on part of the horse's “mane.” It was taken by Webb's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument).
Astronomers estimate that “horse head” oh The “Horsehead” Nebula It has another five million years to decay. New Web View It focuses on the glowing rim of the top of the nebula's unique structure of dust and gas.
He James Webb Telescope, He Space Laboratory The most powerful ever built, it is capable of detecting infrared light at unprecedented resolutions and revealing objects that cannot be seen this way. Optical telescopes.
