The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured the first exquisite images of an interstellar patch of sky, about 11,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.

While large portions of the pillars appear dark red in the Hubble image, the JWST image depicts most of the formation in golden and orange tones. This means that the visual light emitted by the pillars is longer wavelength (red) but a bit closer to the middle of the spectrum of infrared light depicted in the image.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen using infrared technology, and creating a time lapse of the phenomena.

Though space is chock-full of interstellar medium, it tends to be invisible unless lit up by a celestial spotlight. Sometimes, scientists get lucky: In 2012, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope grabbed an image of lacy interstellar medium illuminated by Zeta Ophiuchi,

The shells of carbon-rich dust are expanding outward into space at the breakneck velocity of 1,600 miles per second.

The initial findings offer novel perspectives on the relationship between star formation and the evolution of galaxies.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has added another honor to its name by locating a record number of new stars in a faraway galaxy. Researchers claimed that the famous telescope captured 44 individual stars present in a galaxy 6.

This time-lapse video using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope highlights the evolution of one light echo in the vicinity of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.
