The intricate whorls and striations of dust that drift between the stars have just been revealed in stupefying detail. In new images from JWST, we're finally seeing exquisite details of the flow and ...

How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

What’s more, Webb used its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument to observe glowing interstellar gas and dust illuminated by a supernova explosion approximately 350 years ago. The material glows in ...

These observations are allowing astronomers to map the true 3D structure of this interstellar dust and gas (known as the interstellar medium) for the first time. "We were pretty shocked to see ...

Snapshots of colorful galaxies and planets show that the beauty of our universe knows no bounds, and recent images of glowing space gas and dust captured by NASA are no exception. The James Webb Space ...

This breathtaking image captured dust in cosmic space in unprecedented detail, allowing astronomers to look at the 3D structure of interstellar material with precision they never thought possible.

Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Jacob Jencson (Caltech/IPAC) NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the infrared glow of an ancient supernova’s light echo, revealing unprecedented 3D details of ...

"The space between the stars is not empty, but rather filled with filaments of dust and gas (known as the interstellar medium), which is often invisible until something illuminates it," NASA ...

The Webb images show dense sheets of gas and dust stretching across hundreds of astronomical units. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured highly detailed images showing the complex layers ...

These shimmering cosmic curtains show interstellar gas and dust that has been heated by the flashbulb explosion of a long-ago supernova. The gas then glows infrared light in what is known as a ...
