This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.
From blurry to breathtaking: Comparing three views of the Carina Nebula. La Silla, Hubble, and James Webb show this cosmic landscape in ever greater clarity, illustrating how advances in telescope technology are transforming our vision of the universe and revealing its hidden structures.

Abandoned Observatory of the Pioneer Palace in Chisinau, Moldova
Once built to inspire young Soviet minds through astronomy, this dome now stands as a quiet relic of a vanished era.#astronomy #observatories #section-Atlas

Threats to astronomical observatory sites around the world from light pollution are growing, but the existing skyglow standard for site protection dates to nearly a half-century ago. Astronomers are considering a new standard to replace it given advances in lighting technology.
