See the stunning new NASA image that shows star birthplace

NASA released a new image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope of the closest star-forming region to Earth, the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. CNN's Jake Tapper speaks to NASA astrophysicist Dr. Amber Straughn about the images. #CNN #News

I am in awe of the images that Webb is getting.

Built to view its subjects chiefly in the infrared spectrum, Webb is about 100 times more sensitive than its 30-year-old predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, which operates mainly at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths.
- Space station which China 🇨🇳 has just completed is an outdated concept.

So easy to find the commenters who barely passed high school science classes.

The James Webb telescope is like a cute bee hive!🌞🐝 It's so cute!

Hats off to all the engineers and all the bright minds who made this whole thing possible! Having these images and all the scientific data we get to see and learn from is truly mind blowing.

Mind boggling when we compare cosmic event timescale to human lifespan. We exist in this universe for a mere 1/10 billionth of the the age of it. If we don't exist, universe won't miss us.

I'm seeing a small lizard jumping over a horse's head. Or a jellyfish. And also a bearded man playing in a cave. Anybody else?

ONE Light Year is roughly SIX TRILLION MILES (that's 1 with 12 zeros behind it, times 6)....Let that sink in...🤯🤯🤯

It's romantic when far righters meet flat earthers.
A hallmark movie plot right there.

Thumbnail looks like a horse taking a polar bear from behind. Odd

[MrOtterdude]

This area is supposed to be the closest star-forming region to us.

Thank you Jordan Neely for staying out of trouble

NASA - “We can’t go back to the moon because we lost all the data on how to”

Duh huh huh
