Pan of Star Cluster IC 348 in Perseus | Webb Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: This image from the near-infrared camera (NIRCam) instrument on the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope shows the central portion of the star cluster IC 348. Astronomers combed the cluster in search of tiny, free-floating brown dwarfs: objects too small to be stars but larger than most planets. They found three brown dwarfs that are less than eight times the mass of Jupiter. The smal

Star Formation from The Carina Nebula to The Cosmic Cliffs | NASA FriendsofNASA.org: This scientific visualization traverses the vast star-forming region of the Carina Nebula Complex using multiwavelength data from NASA space telescopes. The narrated journey explores clusters of massive young stars, the mottled structure of dust clouds, and high-energy x-ray emission, before embarking on a 3D flight through the James Webb Space Telescope’s famous image nicknamed “Cosmic Cliffs”. The sequence sta

• The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram for Globular Star Cluster Omega Centauri 10.12.2020 VIDEO: In this video, the stars in globular cluster Omega Centauri are rearranged according to their intrinsic brightness (vertical axis) and their temperature (horizontal axis). The temperature of a star dictates its apparent colour, with cooler stars being red and hotter ones being blue. The majority of stars at any given time fall into a wide band known as the main sequence, which passes from the top left (h
