🌌 Cosmic Dance Unveiled! 🌌

OTD Last year - Webb discovered oldest galaxies in this image of Abell 2744 galaxy cluster. Read the full article here

Today marks the one-year anniversary of a mind-blowing discovery made by the James Webb Space Telescope, and brace yourselves, it's like something straight out of a sci-fi flick! 🌠

🔭 Last year, on November 17, 2022, the Webb telescope, with its super cosmic detective skills, unveiled the outer reaches of the colossal galaxy cluster Abell 2744, dropping a jaw-dropping bombshell – the revelation of two of the most distant galaxies ever spotted!

📸 Feast your eyes on the awe-inspiring image captured by NASA, ESA, CSA, and the brilliant mind of Tommaso Treu (UCLA), with a touch of magic in image processing by Zolt G. Levay (STScI). 🌌✨

🌟 These two cosmic wonders were found between 350 and 450 million years after the big bang. Imagine, just a blink in the vast timeline of our universe! 🕰️ Astronomers are scratching their heads because these galaxies, though smaller than our Milky Way, are shining brighter than your favorite star. 💫✨ They're like the rockstars of the early galaxy scene, converting gas into stars at a mind-boggling rate!

🔍 Webb's gaze has revealed a hidden universe, where the first galaxies are throwing a celestial party, quite different from the mature galaxies we're used to. 🎉💫 It seems the stellar birth began only 100 million years after the big bang, opening our eyes to a cosmic cradle of creation.

In just four days of processing, Webb managed to snatch a glimpse of these elusive early galaxies, previously unseen by any other telescope. 🚀 Imagine what wonders await as we delve deeper into the cosmos!

🔍 Stay tuned for the unfolding cosmic drama as Webb continues to unravel the mysteries of our universe! 🚀🔭✨ #WebbTelescope #GalacticRevelations #CosmicExploration #LostInSpace #SpaceWonders

X-ray and Infrared Symphony of Chandra and Webb Unveiling the Secrets of Galaxies and Nebulae

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope have delivered breathtaking composite images showcasing the beauty of two galaxies, a nebula, and a star cluster. These images, which combine X-rays from Chandra and infrared data from Webb, provide a mesmerizing glimpse into the hidden wonders of the universe.

Invisible to the unaided eye, the X-rays captured by Chandra and the infrared data obtained by Webb are transformed into vibrant colors that humans can perceive. To create these stunning composite images, NASA also incorporated data from other powerful telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the retired Spitzer Space Telescope, the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton, and the European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope.

Webb reveals new structures within iconic supernova

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has begun the study of one of the most renowned supernovae, SN 1987A (Supernova 1987A). Located 168,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, SN 1987A has been a target of intense observations at wavelengths ranging from gamma rays to radio for nearly 40 years, since its discovery in February of 1987. New observations by Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) provide a crucial clue to our understanding of how a supernova develops over time to shape its remnant.

This image reveals a central structure like a keyhole. This center is packed with clumpy gas and dust ejected by the supernova explosion. The dust is so dense that even near-infrared light that Webb detects can't penetrate it, shaping the dark "hole" in the keyhole.

A bright, equatorial ring surrounds the inner keyhole, forming a band around the waist that connects two faint arms of hourglass-shaped outer rings. The equatorial ring, formed from material ejected tens of thousands of years before the supernova explosion, contains bright hot spots, which appeared as the supernova's shock wave hit the ring. Now spots are found even exterior to the ring, with diffuse emission surrounding it. These are the locations of supernova shocks hitting more exterior material.

While these structures have been observed to varying degrees by NASA's Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes and Chandra X-ray Observatory, the unparalleled sensitivity and spatial resolution of Webb revealed a new feature in this supernova remnant—small crescent-like structures.

These crescents are thought to be a part of the outer layers of gas shot out from the supernova explosion. Their brightness may be an indication of limb brightening, an optical phenomenon that results from viewing the expanding material in three dimensions. In other words, our viewing angle makes it appear that there is more material in these two crescents than there actually may be.

The high resolution of these images is also noteworthy. Before Webb, the now-retired Spitzer telescope observed this supernova in infrared throughout its entire lifespan, yielding key data about how its emissions evolved over time. However, it was never able to observe the supernova with such clarity and detail.

Despite the decades of study since the supernova's initial discovery, there are several mysteries that remain, particularly surrounding the neutron star that should have been formed in the aftermath of the supernova explosion. Like Spitzer, Webb will continue to observe the supernova over time.

Its NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) instruments will offer astronomers the ability to capture new, high-fidelity infrared data over time and gain new insights into the newly identified crescent structures. Further, Webb will continue to collaborate with Hubble, Chandra, and other observatories to provide new insights into the past and future of this legendary supernova.
