The Hubble Space Telescope could not see into these clouds at the visible and near-visible wavelengths it used.<\/p>\n

Webb, however, being able to detect infra-red light can see the newly created hot stars nestled deep within the gas and dust.<\/p>\n

Another image of the same area, using NIRCam and MIRI data reveals more of the stars nestled within the gas and dust.<\/p>\n

I just love these two wonderful structures revealed in the images.
\nI wonder if these will become just as iconic as Hubble’s “Pillars of Creation”?<\/p>\n
