In June 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope made one of its first observations, capturing the rare sight of a Wolf-Rayet star in unprecedented detail. The star, WR 124, is located in the constellation Sagittarius and is 15,000 light-years away.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is providing unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths to researchers who are getting their first look at nearby galaxies’ star formation, gas, and dust. As a result, the team has produced 21 research papers that give new insights into how the beginnings of star formation impact the evolution of galaxies.
