Star Formation from The Carina Nebula to The Cosmic Cliffs | NASA FriendsofNASA.org: This scientific visualization traverses the vast star-forming region of the Carina Nebula Complex using multiwavelength data from NASA space telescopes. The narrated journey explores clusters of massive young stars, the mottled structure of dust clouds, and high-energy x-ray emission, before embarking on a 3D flight through the James Webb Space Telescope’s famous image nicknamed “Cosmic Cliffs”. The sequence sta

Stunning! Located at the edge of an enormous, gaseous cavity in the star cluster NGC 3324, the Cosmic Cliffs have become a focal point for astronomers, renowned as a cradle of star formation. | Jock Williams Meteorologist

STARFORGE Simulation • The Anvil of Creation 1.3.2022 • (Best viewed on larger screen, view till end) This movie is the first numerical simulation of star formation in a massive (20,000 solar mass) giant molecular cloud with individual star formation and a comprehensive treatment of feedback, from protostellar jets, radiation in 5 frequency bands, stellar winds, and core-collapse supernovae. This makes it the first simulation with the full STARFORGE physics package. This particular cloud has bee

The shimmering wonder M92 is one of the brightest globular clusters in our Milky Way Galaxy! Under good observing conditions, it is even visible to the naked eye. Tightly packed with stars, it is estimated to contain 330,000 stars in total. Globular clusters are roughly spherical groups of stars bound together by their mutual gravitational attraction. Like most globular clusters, the predominant elements within M92 are hydrogen and helium, with only traces of others. It is actually what is known
