Star-forming region in the Carina Nebula from JWST

What looks much like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals previously obscured areas of star birth.

Called the Cosmic Cliffs, the region is actually the edge of a gigantic, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, roughly 7,600 light-years away. The cavernous area has been carved from the nebula by the intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive, hot, young stars located in the center of the bubble, above the area shown in this image. The high-energy radiation from these stars is sculpting the nebula’s wall by slowly eroding it away. 

These images, official downloaded highest quality, genuine JWST images are available as prints, framed prints or canvas wraps from SalemFineArt. This is the first and more will come out almost daily as I work to make these huge files suitable for your purpose. We will not do any image adjustment other than sizing it to fit.
