In this video, we will show you the first image from the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful and complex space telescope ever built. The image shows N79, a massive star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. N79 is a region of interstellar hydrogen gas that is ionised by the radiation of young, hot stars. It is also known as a younger version of the Tarantula Nebula, another of Webb’s targets. We will explain how the JWST captured the image of N79 in infrared light, revealing the glowing gas and dust inside the clouds. We will also tell you how the JWST’s observations of N79 will help astronomers study the evolution of the stars and planets that are forming inside this cosmic nursery. We will also compare and contrast the star formation processes in N79 with those in distant galaxies from the early Universe. Join us as we explore the hidden secrets of star formation in our cosmic neighbourhood and beyond with the JWST!
