The landscape of "mountains" and "valleys" known as the Cosmic Cliffs is actually a portion of the nebula Gum 31, which contains a young star cluster called NGC 3324. Both Gum 31 and NGC 3324 are part ...

NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has used its extraordinary infrared imaging capability to reveal heretofore unseen star formation in the nearby so-called ‘Cosmic Cliffs,’ part of NGC 3324, a star forming ...

Pan across the James Webb Space Telescope's view of the Cosmic Cliffs, "a region at the edge of a gigantic, gaseous cavity within the star cluster NGC 3324," according to NASA/ESA. NGC 3324 is within ...

This new view from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) shows a stellar nursery called NGC 3324. It was taken using the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla ...

Scientists taking a “deep dive” into one of Webb’s iconic first images have discovered dozens of energetic jets and outflows from young stars previously hidden by dust clouds.

Matter flows away from the poles of newborn stars in fast-moving columns that plow through nebular clouds. Gas and dust pile up in front of these outflows, forming waves called “bow shocks” in much ...

The Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory has imaged a region of star formation called NGC 3324. The intense radiation from several of NGC 3324's massive, ...
