James Webb Space Telescope Captures Stunning Images Of Orion Nebula In 'Amazing Detail'

The Orion Nebula, a star nursery 1,350 light-years away from Earth, is clearly visible in new images.

The Orion Nebula, a star-forming region 1,350 light-years away from Earth, can be seen in stunning clarity in recently released photographs taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

More than 100 scientists from 18 different nations worked together to create the photographs, which were shown on Monday by a group of international experts, according to Agence France-Presse.

The Orion Nebula, which is located in the constellation of Orion, is similar to the setting in which our solar system evolved about 4.5 billion years ago.

The JWST collects infrared light, which enables researchers to see through the dust clouds, but the hearts of star nurseries like the Orion Nebula are impossible to study due to being cloaked in stardust.
