Thousands of newborn stars sparkle and dazzle in the latest snapshot by NASA’s Webb Space Telescope. Released this week, the picture provides a breathtaking view of a nearby star-birthing center, just 5,500 light-years away. Besides baby stars in a variety of sizes and colors, the photo reveals a dramatic wall of star-forming cloud of dust and gas. This cloud, or nebula, is being eaten away by all the scorching wind and radiation emitted from the infant stars. Launched in 2021, Webb is the largest and most powerful telescope ever sent into space.
