What NASA Saw in a Grain-Sized Patch of Sky Will Break Your Brain - YouTube - The Secrets of the Universe - cosmology

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has discovered at least 80 supernovae,a tenfold increase from before.They date back to the early universe.Only infrared capabilities can look back that far,as the light is too faint for standard optics to detect.Supernovae are transients,changing in brightness over time.To discover supernovae,the JWST team compared several images taken over a year apart,searching for sources of light that either appeared or vanished.*Cosmology is the study of the origins and structures of the universe.

James Webb Space Telescope captures never-before-seen star behaviour - YouTube - Space.com - European Southern Observatory - astrophysics

The Serpens Nebula is 13,000 light years from Earth and has a very dense cluster of newly forming stars only 100,000 years old,some of which will grow to the mass of our Sun.The discovery lies in the Northern region of this young,star-forming region.Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope found a group of protostellar outflows that formed when jets of gas from newborn stars collide with nearby dust regions at high speeds,uniquely slanted in one direction.The red colour indicates the presence of molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide.Using its Near-Infrared Camera,Webb can image these young stars and their outflows,previously obscured at optical wavelengths.

They were discovered by the combined efforts of the Gemini North Telescope and Subaru Telescope on Mt.Mauna Kea,Hawaii.*Cosmology is the study of the origin and structures of the universe.
