- This video tours areas of NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies. NGC 346, a star cluster that lies within a nebula, is located 210,000 light years away. It resides within the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy close to our Milky Way.
New findings from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveal the presence of a much more intricate network of gas and dust structures than previously discovered in the area. Within a plume of gas is cold molecular hydrogen, which provides a perfect environment for young stars to form, some of which can be seen in the image. These young stars generate energy that heats the gas, energizing and splitting the molecular hydrogen. This effectively carves rough ridges into the gas.
Another area at upper right appears to show the head of a dragon, spitting out balls of hot gas. Its “eye” and the balls of gas are areas of active star formation, which will continue to change the environment around it.
The wisps seen in the image at upper right are more evidence of that environmental change. Winds from nearby stars are blowing away material that surrounds still-forming stars, leaving these small structures behind.
Around the arc, we see curly ribbons of glowing gas that outline the cold molecular gas of the region. These many pillars of creation show how pervasive the stellar erosion is in the region.
Eventually, over millions of years, the mixture of energized and dense hydrogen will give way to thousands of stars and far more of these filamentary structures.

Stunning images thank you JWST team! I feel 2023 and beyond is going to be interesting!
Such a beautiful cluster ❤️❤️❤️. I like the dragon head..🔥🔥
Thank you. More videos like this more often (please!).
The thing I always struggle to wrap my head around is that images we are seeing now, happened 100’s of thousands of years ago! No telling what shape those systems are in today.
Just amazing!!!...it was a long wait but most definitely worth it!!!...I have followed Jwst for years from the very first designs to now! Thanks to all the team that made these images possible hope you read this so you know that you have delivered something special and there is one silly human who appreciates all the work put in 🙏♥️
More videos!!!! ♥♥♥
Also narrator is perfect keep her on all videos!
Thank you for highlighting and explaining .
Nice. Keep 'em coming.
Looks sooo amazing
Thank you.
Is there a graph to represent the distance, direction and location between this star system and Earth? I couldn’t find it on your website either, but it would help understanding. Thanks!
I hope one day mankind finds a way to travel the stars and visit these places. I feel envy towards whoever it will be.
my mind makes so many things when I look at it
CooooooooooooL
Watching this while sitting outside to look clear night sky.. 🌌🪐💫🌠
Makes me wish i was 35 years younger, Astronomy is just now getting intersecting with new technologies
I've often pined for the days when the first big reflectors began taking their first pictures, back when they had no clue, but they were finding out. Today's astronomers mostly know what they are seeing in these spectacular images. Back in the day they had no idea, and the ones who got it right were often mocked. When everything is unknown, every observation is a discovery! 🙂
Thanks... Me gustaría poder ayudar en investigaciónes :(
0:52 Looks like a Phoenix
سبحان الله أحسن الخالقين
At 1:15 what is that blue sword looking ring thing? It's on the top about half way. I wonder what's behind that gas ring...
A spiral galaxy in the background.
Have you pointed the JWST at or is it scheduled to look at the Great attractor .
The 'Great Attractor' isn't really a thing anymore.
@tonywells6990
Really? It must still be the center by mass of the local supercluster. What changed?
No live video of the Green 50k year comet?!
From far enough away our solar system and neighbors would look like a glowing column of "dust". Get close enough to those objects and they would disappear
They should rename this Bahamuts Cradle.
you need 4k videos
I missed a call about 3hrs ago it was not you guys I hope😮 +33 ??
this makes me want to quit my job and go to NASA D:
0:25 you can see a FACE! 2 eyes, nose and lips
where alien space empire???....
Hello 👨🚀👩🚀
🫶
No thumbs up because of the music.
Again
we are really just nothing compared to universe
Oh yeah? Can the universe make anything like my mom's molten cheese melt casserole? I didn't think so! (Life here on the small scale can be pretty spectacular too. 🙂)
@@beenaplumber8379 we are part of universe itself.
@@lalemon I know. I just love my mom and her cooking, both part of the universe, but I think personal internal experience needs to be accounted for in a theory of everything. It exists, but why? How? And you don't know reality until you've had my mom's apple crumble!
Webb is working off its $10 billion debt, one picture at a time.
You're sure?
Astronomy replacing very well any religion, i see James Webb as a piece of art
In fact as a cathedrale.
The chors of creation
Cradle of stars as the engels
An incredible inspiration for the nature and origin of existence.
Forget the money it's worth it.
I still prefer the TESS satellite over WEBB.
yawn
Biggest waste of money ever,, for what? Pictures? That's all your gonna get,
Biggest waste of money ever,,, for what??? Pictures!!
True. For you these are only pictures.
Watching this while sitting outside to look clear night sky.. 🌌🪐💫🌠
