Rho Ophiuchi (star-forming region)
Rho Ophiuchi (star-forming region)
In celebration of James Webb’s first year in operation, NASA released this close-up image of Rho Ophiuchi, the closest star-forming region to Earth.
Sun-like stars are being born in this detailed close-up of Rho Ophiuchi, the closest-star-forming region to Earth. Webb spotted around 50 young stars, many close in mass to our star, giving us a glimpse into the early life of the Sun.
Dark, dense dust cocoons still-forming protostars, while an emerging stellar newborn (top center) shoots out two huge jets of molecular hydrogen. Some stars even display the telltale shadow of a circumstellar disc, the makings of future planetary systems.
