The James Webb Space Telescope has looked into the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, unveiling new features and mysteries within the chaotic region that could help astronomers unravel more details about the early universe.Video above: Webb Telescope spots water in rare cometThe space observatory맥스카지노�s ability to view the universe in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, captured never-before-seen details in the image, released by NASA on Monday.Astronomers used Webb to glimpse Sagittarius C, or Sgr C, an active region of star formation located about 300 light-years from the galaxy맥스카지노�s central supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. A light-year, equivalent to 5.88 trillion miles, is how far a beam of light travels in one year.맥스카지노�The image from Webb is stunning, and the science we will get from it is even better,맥스카지노� said Samuel Crowe, principal investigator of the observations and an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia, in a statement. 맥스카지노�Massive stars are factories that produce heavy elements in their nuclear cores, so understanding them better is like learning the origin story of much of the universe.맥스카지노�Studying the Milky Way맥스카지노�s center with Webb could provide insights into how many stars form there and whether massive stars are more likely to form near the galactic center rather than the galaxy맥스카지노�s spiral arms.맥스카지노�There맥스카지노�s never been any infrared data on this region with the level of resolution and sensitivity we get with Webb, so we are seeing lots of features here for the first time,맥스카지노� Crowe said. 맥스카지노�Webb reveals an incredible amount of detail, allowing us to study star formation in this sort of environment in a way that wasn맥스카지노�t possible previously.맥스카지노�Young stars and dynamic emissionsThere are an estimated 500,000 stars glittering within the image, all ranging in size and age. Among them are a cluster of protostars, or dense masses of dust and gas that are still developing and growing into full-fledged stars 맥스카지노� including a massive protostar at the cluster맥스카지노�s center that has more than 30 times the mass of the sun.The protostars are releasing glowing material, creating balls of light that emerge from the formation, which appears dramatically dark in infrared light.맥스카지노�The galactic center is the most extreme environment in our Milky Way galaxy, where current theories of star formation can be put to their most rigorous test,맥스카지노� said Jonathan Tan, research professor of astronomy and one of Crowe맥스카지노�s advisers at the University of Virginia, in a statement.Additionally, the observatory맥스카지노�s Near-Infrared Camera spotted ionized hydrogen emissions surrounding the stellar region맥스카지노�s lower edge, depicted in cyan in the image.Astronomers are still trying to determine what has created the vast amount of energized gas, which surpasses what would normally be released by young massive stars. The observation team is also intrigued by structures that look like needles within the ionized hydrogen that are arrayed without any order.맥스카지노�The galactic center is a crowded, tumultuous place. There are turbulent, magnetized gas clouds that are forming stars, which then impact the surrounding gas with their outflowing winds, jets, and radiation,맥스카지노� said Rubén Fedriani, coinvestigator of the project and a postdoctoral research fellow at the Instituto Astrofísica de Andalucía in Spain, in a statement. 맥스카지노�Webb has provided us with a ton of data on this extreme environment, and we are just starting to dig into it.맥스카지노�
