The folks at the Space Telescope Science Institute arguably know the James Webb Space Telescope best — so we asked them for ...
The James Webb telescope spent another year collecting instantly iconic space imagery. Here are some of our favorites.
But, we’re still learning about these cosmic objects. Now, the James Webb space telescope has captured new details about the Crab Nebula, one of the closest supernova remnants we have ever studied.
A team of scientists used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to parse the composition of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus.
This image by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) reveals new details in infrared light. The supernova remnant is comprised of ...
THE Crab Nebula in Taurus, which has the distinction of being No. 1 in Messier's Catalogue, is of peculiar interest, as is shown by articles published respectively in L'Astronomie (August 1939 ...
A pulsar's radiation is getting refracted by plasma in the magnetosphere. Historical records from around the world describe a bright star appearing in the sky in the year 1054. Today, astronomers ...
But this wasn't just any supernova. It was a supernova that would eventually lead to the formation of the Crab Nebula — a collage of interstellar gas and dust illuminated by the energy expelled ...
Horsehead Nebulae: The Horsehead Nebula is famously known for looking like a horse’s head. But there is more to this cloud of dust and gas than meets the eye. Crab Nebulae: The Crab Nebula.
"Webb's sensitivity and spatial resolution allow ... who led the team that used JWST's infrared instruments to image the Crab Nebula, told NASA. For the first time in 20 years, Hubble will have ...
The Crab Nebula is an expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion. In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star ...
