An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal" reports the results of the study of a group of protoplanetary disks with an age of up to 30 million years, even 10 times older than current models of planet formation predict. A team of researchers used observations conducted with the James Webb space telescope of the cluster NGC 346, in the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Hubble Captures Unique Ultraviolet View of a Spectacular Star Cluster - NASA Science

Roughly 210,000 light-years away, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of our Milky Way galaxy’s closest neighbors. In fact, this small galaxy is one of the Milky Way’s “satellite” galaxies, which orbit our home spiral galaxy. Nested within the SMC is this spectacular star cluster, known as NGC 346. Its hot stars unleash a […]

Erste Entdeckung von magnetischen massereichen Sternen außerhalb unserer Galaxie

Erstmalig wurden Magnetfelder in drei massereichen, heißen Sternen in unseren Nachbargalaxien, den Großen und Kleinen Magellanschen Wolken, nachgewiesen. Eine Pressemitteilung des Leibniz-Instituts für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP).

Ooooh, this is not fair. The only publicly available thing in the MAST portal from the #JWST observation of #NGC346 is the TIF picture created for PR. All FITS are either marked as "EXCLUSIVE" or they aren't available (marked as "TO-BE-REPLACED").
The new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope #JWST is all about solving the mysteries of #NGC346, which is one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby #galaxies. However, the new findings by Webb have made NGC346 a bit less mysterious.

Le télescope Webb observe une région semblable au "midi cosmique"

James Webb a saisi l'amas NGC 346, l'une des régions de formation d'étoiles les plus dynamiques des galaxies proches. A 210'000 années-lumière, elle est semblable au "midi cosmique", une époque où les étoiles se formaient à profusion dans l'Univers, peu de temps après le Big Bang.
