Unveiling the Secrets of Star Formation: A Stunning Look at Ophiuchus with JWST

Broke On: Sunday, 31 March 2024 The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of massive star birth and death in the Ophiuchus region. Red jets are visible when stars form, while white dots represent young stars. A large arch is seen due to a cavity created by a massive star that heats surrounding material and causes chemical reactions. The disk around the star absorbs light from behind it, forming planets through clumping of dust particles in the disk. Wolf-Rayet 124, an enormous star that has consumed most hydrogen and lost its atmosphere, will explode as a supernova in a few hundred thousand years.
