James Webb telescope reveals 'cosmic tornado' in best detail ever — and finds part of it is not what it seems

The spectacular image shows a "cosmic tornado" being burped out from a baby star.

'Frothy,' cosmic tornado captured in new images from NASA's Webb telescope

Frothy and resembling an ice cream sundae thats how NASA described a newly-released, stunning image of a cosmic tornado from its James Webb Space Telescope.The telescope captured an image of the bright cloud of gas and dust that surrounds a newborn star, otherwise known as a Herbig-Haro object.The outflows from this forming star can extend for light years, NASA said. It creates shockwaves and emits light as it cools.When NASAs retired Spitzer Sp…

Webb Spots Tornado-Like Herbig-Haro Object

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have produced a high-resolution image of Herbig-Haro object 49/50 (HH 49/50), which is located about 630 light-years away in the constellation of Chamaeleon. The post Webb Spots Tornado-Like Herbig-Haro Object appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has brought new insight into the fascinating cosmic formation Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50), which has earned it the nickname “Cosmic Tornado” among astronomers. The newly released images, according to Popular Science, not only show its structure in unprecedented detail, but also answer a question that has plagued scientists since the first discovery of this object almost twenty years ago.

In service since 2022, three years now, the James Webb Space Telescope has already offered us some striking photographs accompanied by singular discoveries. Recently, NASA has published the photographs of a particular celestial object. Named Herbig-Haro 49/50 or HH 49/50, it is a spatial structure that simply looks like a cosmic tornado, and if the cliché is magnificent, it also allowed the researchers to understand what they were really observi…
