A star whale dives through the cosmic riffs and enjoying the waves of stars it leaves behind. Creating a shimering trail of stars as it continues their journey.

An article published in the journal "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society" reports a study of the open cluster NGC 3324, part of the Carina Nebula, one of the largest known star nurseries. A team of researchers used observations conducted with the James Webb Space Telescope to specifically study an area on the edge of NGC 3324 nicknamed the Cosmic Cliffs.

Scientists taking a “deep dive” into one of Webb’s iconic first images have discovered dozens of energetic jets and outflows from young stars previously hidden by dust clouds. Read more at go.nasa.gov/3WmXXGQ

This glittering star-speckled landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” is actually the edge of a nearby region called in the , where young are forming.

We previously saw this view of the through 's first images, but a deeper investigation has revealed young in a stage of development that was previously unknown to us. This discovery may help us learn more about the formation of stars like the .

“It’s like finding buried treasure.”

A deep dive into one of #NASAWebb’s iconic first images—the Cosmic Cliffs—has revealed a treasure trove of extremely young stars in a particularly intriguing stage of formation: webbtelescope.pub/3Btx3oE

The image is split into four boxes. On the left is a large box that takes up half of the entire image. On the right are 3 boxes (two boxes split vertically at the top, the third across the bottom). The right boxes are enlarged areas of the left image, labeled 1, 2, and 3 respectively, and are indicated by corresponding white outlines on the left image. The left image is divided horizontally by a line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys. The 3 pull-out images are close-ups of bright red, elongated splotches within the cloud, labeled as molecular hydrogen outflows. In box 2, a horizontal line that ends in two c-shaped curves, labeled jet and bow shocks, is superimposed on the image.
