Descubiertas zonas de formación estelar nunca antes vistas

El telescopio espacial James Webb no deja de sorprendernos con sus descubrimientos. Mirando a la nebulosa NGC 346, que consiste en un grupo joven de estrellas rodeados de gas y polvo, el telescopio encontró focos de formación estelar nunca antes vistos.⁣⁣NGC 346 se encuentra en una galaxia enana vecina a nuestra galaxia, concretamente en la Pequeña Nube de Magallanes. Tiene una composición mucho…

Small Magellanic Cloud

Image exposure per tile:2 x 8.5 min; 1 x 7.8 minImage size: 3.22º x 2.09ºImage date: 2022-10-02 The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a nearby dwarf galaxy, about 200,000 light years away, well known to inhabitants of the Southern Hemisphere. Well, perhaps it is well known to astronomers and others who look up at the stars. It is one of the largest objects, with an apparent size of 5º x 3º, while…

Hubble encontró estrellas en espiral del universo primitivo

Increíbles imagenes

A la naturaleza le gustan las espirales, desde el torbellino de un huracán hasta los discos protoplanetarios en forma de molinete alrededor de estrellas recién nacidas, hasta los vastos reinos de las galaxias espirales en todo nuestro universo. Ahora los astrónomos están desconcertados al encontrar estrellas jóvenes que están girando en espiral hacia el centro de un cúmulo masivo de estrellas en…

Two articles published in "The Astrophysical Journal" report different aspects of a study on NGC 346, an open cluster of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the satellite dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way. Two teams of researchers who share their respective leaders, Elena Sabbi of the Space Telescope Science Institute and Peter Zeidler of the AURA/STScI for ESA, used observations conducted with the Hubble Space Telescope and the VLT. They examined the spiraling motion of the cluster's stars within it, a motion that appears to favor star formation.

NASAs Webb Captures an Ethereal View of NGC 346

Download the full-resolution version from the Space Telescope Science Institute. Filaments of dust and gas festoon this star-forming region in a new infrared image from MIRI. One of the greatest strengths of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is its ability to give astronomers detailed views of areas where new stars are being born.
