This new image, courtesy of the James Webb Space Telescope, is a lush view of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, showing in vivid detail the process of new stars and even planets being formed.
The massive James Webb Space Telescope cost over $10 billion, and today NASA released a photo that shows just what kind of power that money can buy. The image is a lush view of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, showing in vivid detail the process of new stars and even planets being formed.
Even at such a distance, scientists consider the region to be a neighbor of sorts to our solar system. It contains about 50 stars in their formative years, some as large as our own sun. The Webb photo shows this area, with the darkest portions of the cloud indicating the highest concentration of protesters, which are still forming. The reddish splashes are massive jets of molecular hydrogen, released by some of these stars as they form.
