NASA released another image of the 'Pillars of Creation' by the James Webb Super Space Telescope


- This selects the wavelength used to display the columns in the image

- This image is excellent for studying complex atoms made up of dust and the intense light of stars

New delhi date. 29 October 2022, Saturday

US space agency NASA has released another image of the famous 'Pillars of Creation' taken by the new James Webb Super Space Telescope. This week we get a rendering of an active star forming region seen by Webb's Mid Infrared Instrument 'MIRI'. Last week there was the near-infrared camera 'NIRCam', revealing this remarkable spot some 6,500 light-years from Earth.

An interesting aspect of the new image is that the wavelengths used to display the columns are chosen. At the center of the columns is what astronomers call Messier 16 'M16' or the Eagle Nebula. It is a subject of intensive study. Every great telescope is pointed in their direction to try to understand the physics and chemistry as new stars are born in huge clouds of gas and dust.

Webb is the latest largest and best space observatory to take in the scene with its 6.5 meter wide mirror and high sensor. Astronomers can usually filter the light to make the dusty columns very translucent, so that their inner newborn stars can be seen in greater detail. The 'NIR CAM' image did just that. This emphasized the thousands of young blue stars that existed. And MIRI is able to take this approach a step further, but on this occasion the filtering has chosen the wavelengths at which the dust actually shines. Defying expectations allows you to see through the dust. This stunning image shows that they are also great for studying the complex atoms made up of dust and the intense light of nearby hot stars.
