An article published in the journal "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society" reports a study of the open cluster NGC 3324, part of the Carina Nebula, one of the largest known star nurseries. A team of researchers used observations conducted with the James Webb Space Telescope to specifically study an area on the edge of NGC 3324 nicknamed the Cosmic Cliffs.

This glittering star-speckled landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” is actually the edge of a nearby region called #NGC3324 in the #CarinaNebula, where young #Stars are forming.

The #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) has captured an image of the #CosmicCliffs, revealing dozens of jets and outflows from young #Stars that were previously undiscovered.

We previously saw this view of the #CosmicCliffs through #Webb's first images, but a deeper investigation has revealed young #Stars in a stage of development that was previously unknown to us. This discovery may help us learn more about the formation of stars like the #Sun.

“It’s like finding buried treasure.”
A deep dive into one of #NASAWebb’s iconic first images—the Cosmic Cliffs—has revealed a treasure trove of extremely young stars in a particularly intriguing stage of formation: https://webbtelescope.pub/3Btx3oE
