The high-energy radiation from these stars is sculpting the nebula’s wall by slowly eroding it away. NIRCam – with its crisp resolution and unparalleled sensitivity – unveils hundreds of previously hidden stars, and even numerous background galaxies. Several prominent features in this image are described below.
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. Reason High-quality, high-resolution public domain photo showing one of the most detailed astronomical images ever produced
High-resolution images of it in visible and near infrared light reveal a highly symmetric, compact bipolar nebula with X-shaped spikes which imply anisotropic dispersion of the circumstellar material. The central binary system is completely obscured, providing no direct light.
This image, made by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in 2013, shows Barnard 33, the Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter), in infrared light.
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed colorful new portraits of the iconic Ring Nebula. The new images capture the complex details of the planetary nebula, an enormous cloud of cosmic gas ...
The Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation Orion, is 1,300 light-years away. Webb’s latest infrared images released Monday captured the top of Horsehead in greater detail, illuminating clouds of ...

Mystic Mountain The location of the feature can be seen in this wider view of the Carina Nebula. Mystic Mountain is a photograph and a term for a region in the Carina Nebula imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The view was captured by the then-new Wide Field Camera 3, though the region was also viewed by the previous generation instrument.
