Don’t let anyone dull your shine 💫 The heart of galaxy M77 nearly outshines the galaxy itself in this mid-infrared Webb image. Gas rapidly orbits the central black hole, heating up, and radiating light. esawebb.org/images/potm260…

Westerlund 2 is a young cluster of thousands of stars located about 20,000 light-years from Earth. This close-up image, roughly 12 light-years across, combines observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory & @NASAWebb.✨

At the heart of galaxy NGC 1365, a supermassive black hole is basically feasting at an all‑you‑can‑eat buffet in this image from Chandra and @NASAWebb. Located about 60 million light-years from Earth, this gobbling black hole has a mass of roughly 2 million suns... and growing.⚫

There is a massive black hole in the center of almost every galaxy. How did it get there, and importantly, how does it grow? On May 19, we'll discuss what new #NASAWebb data is driving the biggest tensions in our understanding of the black hole phenomenon. youtube.com/live/KIMhXF-he…

Light can bend (or be diffracted) around the edges of the telescope primary mirror and the struts that hold the secondary mirror. Bright objects in Webb images show a distinctive six-plus-two-pointed pattern. Hubble's have 4 point diffraction spikes due to its structure.

This image is a composite of both mid and near infrared. The bright orange lines radiating out of the center are diffraction spikes. They aren't a physical feature of the galaxy, but an optical effect caused by the structure of the telescope.

It’s heaven in my heart, and we could find you some *space* ✨ Webb looked at nearly 9000 star clusters in four different nearby galaxies and its data shows that more massive star clusters emerge more quickly from the clouds they are born in. esawebb.org/news/weic2608/

Shine, dream, smile! Oh, let us light up the night… with a pair of new stars, and maybe some planets! Webb captured edge-on views of two protoplanetary disks, which will help us better understand the process of planet formation. esawebb.org/images/potm260…

Webb directly imaged 29 Cygni b, an object 15 times the mass of Jupiter, to find out if it formed like a planet or a star, since they result from different processes. Data show it's a planet! science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/…
