The James Web Space Telescope does it again

The James Web Space Telescope does it again and this time it offers us a new and impressive vision of The Pillars of Creation or the Hand of God, with impressive sharpness.


We can see a huge amount of background stars, the pillars that were previously seen with the Hubble thick and dusty brown, now we don't see them so opaque anymore and there are many more red stars that are still forming, but something that always caught our attention that there are those wavy lines that look like lava and that we see on the edges some Pillars, because they are ejections of stars that are still forming within the great cloud of gas and dust.


Young stars are unstable and periodically launch supersonic jets that collide with clouds of gas and dust, like the clouds that make up the thick Pillars, this activity also sometimes results in bow shocks which is the same effect we see and the waves that form on the bow of an advancing ship.

The new image will help researchers revamp their models of star formation, by being able to make a much more accurate count of newborn stars, it will also help better calculate the amounts of gas and dust in the region.


Astronomers will thus be able to better understand how stars are formed and how planetary systems sprout from these clouds of gas and dust, because the sun and the earth and the material from which we are formed also condensed in a stellar nursery similar to that of The pillars of creation.


The sun was born along with many other stars, it was a stormy place where the original materials that allowed the existence of the earth were found and also the existence of the organic molecules that gave rise to life.

Astronomers have been wondering for a long time, if that primordial nursery where the sun was born had a special composition or was it a common nursery and similar to the rest, if it was a creational cloud with a very peculiar mixture of materials, perhaps life at the end is a phenomenon much rarer than we think and we should look for it in sister stars of the sun, those that were born next to it, but if the composition of the cloud was something common to the rest of the stellar nurseries in the galaxy, then life could be a phenomenon very widespread.


Now with the James web we have a phenomenal tool to be able to obtain new data and find an answer to that and many other mysteries of the universe.
