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 ...
Getting a glimpse of the brilliant scene through JWST, a team at NASA created a 3D scan of the interstellar material that displays its intricacies in tremendous detail. Now, astronomers are able to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
The JWST witnessed the reflection of this light pulse as it bounced off the surrounding gas and dust while traveling through the interstellar medium — a phenomenon known as a light echo.
"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 ...
