NGC 3324 in Carina

This bright cosmic cloud was sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from the hot young stars of open cluster NGC 3324. With dust clouds in silhouette against its glowing atomic gas, the pocket-shaped star-forming region actually spans about 35 light-years. It lies some 7,500 light-years away toward the nebula rich southern constellation Carina.

Webb onthult protosterren en energetische jets in de Kosmische Kliffen

Astronomen hebben op afbeeldingen gemaakt door de Webb Space Telescope 24 voorheen niet zichtbare uitstromingen van nieuwgeboren sterren in de “kosmische Kliffen”, een gebied in het stervormingsgebied NGC 3324.

An article published in the journal "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society" reports a study of the open cluster NGC 3324, part of the Carina Nebula, one of the largest known star nurseries. A team of researchers used observations conducted with the James Webb Space Telescope to specifically study an area on the edge of NGC 3324 nicknamed the Cosmic Cliffs.
