Astrophysicists Break Down the Impact of Newly Released Webb Images

by
Galaxies and their galactic dust.

'Webb enables so much new science that it’s hard to know where to begin. Studying the ultraviolet light from the first galaxies is what it was designed to do, but its high-resolution images of millions of stars through the Milky Way’s dust, and its spectroscopic studies of molecules in the atmospheres of exoplanets are what excites me most.'

Stunning Simulation of Stars Being Born Is Most Realistic Ever

A STARFORGE simulation of stars being born.

Snapshot from a STARFORGE simulation. A rotating gas core collapses, forming a central star that launches bipolar jets along its poles as it feeds on gas from the surrounding disk. The jets entrain gas away from the core, limiting the amount that the star can ultimately accrete. (Image: via Northwestern University / UT Austin)
