Thousands of stars team about the Butterfly nebula and its two separated "loves," shown here in bright red with purple streaks across a dark expanse of space lit up by tiny stars

What the James Webb telescope's infrared parts revealed about planet formations and molecules within the star at the center of the butterfly nebula

3/3. The Butterfly Nebula is "a bipolar nebula" (2 lobes) formed by a dying star that still energises it & makes it glow.

#JSWT found PAHs, a reddish carbon-based molecule we have on Earth. Finding PAHs is a big clue re. the origins of the raw materials needed for new planets. #Space #Astro #NASA

"NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a colorful, glittering image of a chaotic region near the center of our home galaxy, the Milky Way." The pink parts are "protostar cluster. Protostars are the early stages of a star. They're compact clumps of gas that just haven't generated enough heat and pressure in their cores, yet, to qualify as a star." Photo by NASA ESA and the JSWT.

At the heart of our Milky Way lies a supermassive black hole which spins so rapidly that it *literally* warps the space-time continuum in violent fashion. No, this is not a TV SciFi plot; it's new astronomy findings.

Next door, half a billion protostars grow in a stellar nursery. #JSWT #NASA #space

Measurements from the Hubble Space Telescope helped show that the giant exoplanet Wasp-17b, shown here in an artist’s conception, was chock-full of clouds. But it wasn’t until the JWST had a look that scientists got a surprise: Those clouds were made of quartz crystal, something never before seen on any other world.

The sheer size of our Universe really makes you feel small and insignificant compared to everything else. We give ourselves meaning and importance in our everyday lives on Earth, but in the grand scheme of things, we’re just a tiny insignificant speck.

Humanity's best space telescopes were specifically made for me to have a steady supply of sick fucking desktop wallpapers, keep up the good work #JSWT #Hubble #Chandra and many more. #astronomy

I have a new desktop wallpaper 🤤
