We're celebrating 3 years of science from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope!🌌🔭

This incredible mission has collected nearly 550 terabytes of data, yielding more than 1,600 research papers. And it's just getting started!

It’s always better when we’re together 💕

This new mosaic combines Webb’s observations with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope’s, increasing our understanding of open star clusters NGC 460 and NGC 456.

Open star clusters are made up of dozens to thousands of stars held loosely together by gravity. As clouds of gas collapse, stars are born. And as these young, hot stars expel stellar winds, others collapse, giving rise to more stars.

Hubble’s visible and near-infrared view captures the glowing, ionized gas as stellar radiation blows “bubbles” in the clouds of gas and dust (blue), while Webb’s infrared vision highlights the clumps and delicate structures of dust (red).

Three years of science and we’re only scratching the surface!

On our 3rd science anniversary, we’re taking a look at a single “toe bean” of the Cat’s Paw Nebula. This active star-forming region is revealing more about how young stars are shaping the surrounding gas and dust. How massive stars form from molecular clouds is not a well-understood process, and Webb is allowing scientists to see never-before-seen structural details and features within clouds of dust and gas that form new stars.

In this section of the Cat’s Paw, massive young stars are carving away nearby dust and gas, nestled within orange-brown loops and tiers of dust, their bright starlight represented in blue. Towards the center of the image (and also in an oval shape at top right) are fiery clumps amongst the brown dust, where massive star formation is still underway. Eventually the very presence of these disruptive stars will cause the local star formation process to stop.
