NASA Shares Earth’s Closest Star Forming Region Image to Mark One Year of the James Webb Telescope

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has completed one year while working in space. On this occasion, a picture taken by the US space agency James Webb release is of. In this, the closest star-forming region to the Earth, the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, can be seen. James Webb flew to space in December 2021. The first data from this telescope was shown in July last year.

The James Webb Telescope has been launched as the successor to the Hubble Telescope. The Hubble telescope has been in space for more than 30 years and is showing unseen pictures of the universe to the world. The James Webb Telescope is by far the most advanced observatory in space. With the help of the Near Infrared Camera attached to it, we have got to see many unique pictures of the distant universe.

Recently, James Webb has detected the farthest black hole ever. This black hole is so huge that 9 million suns can come in it. The picture shared by NASA on the completion of one year of the web is of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. These are huge clouds of gas and dust, where new stars ie the Sun are born. This place is located about 390 light-years away from Earth in our own galaxy. Remember that a light year is the distance that light travels in one year.

Captured by the James Webb Telescope first picture It came out on July 12 last year. In that also the distant universe was shown. NASA claimed that the picture is the deepest and sharpest infrared image ever taken of the distant universe. Every detail of the galaxy cluster named SMACS 0723 was captured by James Webb.

James Webb’s construction cost $ 10 billion (about Rs 75,330 crore). The US space agency has also started work on the successor of this telescope.
