Webb’s Stellar Capture: Supersonic Outflow From a Newborn Star
Infrared Capabilities Map Out Molecular Structure of Outflow NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a high-resolution look at Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), a bipolar…
Read the latest news on the James Webb Space Telescope, the large, space-based observatory that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope. With its 6.5-meter primary mirror, Webb offers longer wavelength coverage and vastly improved sensitivity, allowing it to look further back in time to view the first galaxies that formed in the early universe and to peer inside dust clouds where stars and planets are forming today.
