The James Webb Telescope captures the famous Pillars of Creation with record clarity (4 photos + 1 video)

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image of the iconic Pillars of Creation - accumulations of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula 7,000 light-years from Earth. This is the first time space formation photographed by Hubble in 1995. New The picture is amazingly detailed.





The image shows pillars of cold interstellar gas and dust surrounded by countless twinkling stars.



The James Webb Telescope took this picture with its near camera. infrared (NIRCam), which is capable of detecting light from the earliest stars and galaxies. The telescope uses a wide range infrared light to "look" into the past, analyzing time, required for light to travel through space.

Hubble image from 1995





The first photograph of the Pillars of Creation was taken by a telescope Hubble in 1995, then in 2014 he took a picture of the cluster in higher resolution.

An image taken by Hubble in 2014 shows the stars as bright red balloons, and the NIRCAM camera was able to capture much more details, down to the luminous twinkling of stars. Thick dusty brown the pillars in the "Webb" image are no longer so opaque, and in the field of view there are many more red stars that are in the stage formations. Webb's images will enable scientists to make a more accurate count of new stars, as well as the amount of gas and dust in the area, and update star formation models.
