Cosmic Cliffs
High-resolution galaxy images captured by NASA's state-of-the-art James Webb Space Telescope have revealed for the first time a previously unseen star-birth region, the "Cosmic Cliffs," in the Carina Nebula . This rapid stage of star formation has been difficult to capture, but the extreme imaging capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope have made it possible to capture these fascinating phenomena.
