JWST NIRCam observed the central part of the Orion Nebula, including proplyd 114-426. This observation found a dip at 3 μm, which is seen as evidence of water ice . The grain size was estimated to be smaller than 0.25 to 5 μm and the dust+ice mass of the disk was estimated to be 0.46 M E in the silhouette region. [ 3 ]
JuMBOs were found during a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) survey of the Orion Nebula in late 2022. Using JWST's Near Infrared Camera ( NIRCam ), astronomers Pearson and McCaughrean observed a 1.2 × 0.8 parsec region of the inner nebula and Trapezium Cluster over approximately 35 hours.
Messier 78 or M78, also known as NGC 2068, is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of comet-like objects that same year. [4] M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula of a group of nebulae that includes NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and NGC 2071.
