First of Its Kind Detection Made in Striking New Webb Image - NASA Science
Alignment of bipolar jets confirms star formation theories For the first time, a phenomenon astronomers have long hoped to directly image has been captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). In this stunning image of the Serpens Nebula, the discovery lies in the northern area (seen at the upper left) of this […]
A Tour of the Serpens Nebula
"A new image of #Serpens from #NASA’s #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope shows an intriguing group of aligned #protostellar #outflows within one region of the #nebula Protostellar outflows are formed when jets of gas spewing from newborn stars collide with nearby gas and dust at high speeds."

Webb Finds Deep Space Alcohol and Chemicals in Newly Forming Planetary
Since its launch in 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made some amazing discoveries. Recent observations have found a number of key ingredients required for life in young proto-stars where planetary formation is imminent. Chemicals like methane, acetic acid and ethanol have been detected in interstellar ice. Previous telescopic observations have only hinted … Continue reading "Webb Finds Deep Space Alcohol and Chemicals in Newly Forming Planetary "
