Webb Telescope Reveals Theatrics of Starbirth
BBC NEWS 13 JUL 2023
It's exactly one year since the super observatory was handed over to astronomers to begin using in anger.
And to celebrate, the US space agency Nasa has just released a spectacular image of one of the most photographed parts of the sky.
It's the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, which is the nearest star-forming region in space to us, being just 400 light-years away.
Both professional and amateur stargazers like to look at Rho Ophiuchi, which can be found just to one side of the plane of the Milky Way.
What Webb shows us is only a tiny part of this dense region of gas and dust, which is what you'd expect, given the telescope's astonishing resolution.
The entire image is about half a light-year across, or 4.7tn km.
