"Webb Telescope Unveils Spectacular Views of Newborn Stars and Nebulae"

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the nebula NGC 604 in the Triangulum Galaxy, revealing about 200 of the hottest and largest stars in their early stages of life, some of which are over 100 times more massive than the Sun. The nebula's vibrant colors are a result of stellar winds carving out cavities and ultraviolet radiation ionizing the surrounding gas, creating a ghostly glow of ionized hydrogen and bright orange streaks signifying the presence of carbon-based molecules. This region is unique for its density of large stars, making it a fascinating area for astronomers to study stellar formation.
