Glittering Glimpse of Star Birth From NASA’s Webb Telescope This is a sparkling scene of star birth captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. What appears to be a craggy, starlit mountaintop kissed by wispy clouds is actually a cosmic dust-scape being eaten away by the blistering winds and radiation of nearby, massive, infant stars. Called Pismis 24, this young star cluster resides in […] The post Glittering Glimpse of Star Birth From NASA’s Webb Telescope first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.
