The protoplanetary disc HH 30, observed by #NASAWebb, reveals intricate structures and dust dynamics essential for planet formation.

#NASAWebb peered into the Flame Nebula, locating the faint infrared signatures of several brown dwarfs, objects so small that their cores will never sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen. The smallest among them is two to three times the mass of Jupiter: https://bit.ly/4iZyqC8 đź”
#NASAWebb has pinpointed the host galaxy of the most distant fast radio burst ever seen. The galaxy proved surprisingly small and young, which provides a clue to the source of the burst: https://news.stsci.edu/4hEmZip đź”

Webb has identified a 3000-mi jet stream in Jupiter’s atmosphere, moving at 320 mph, showcasing the planet's dynamic weather patterns. #NASAWebb
NEW: The contrasting colors in NGC 7129 show differences in temperatures detected by #NASAWebb. The gold cavity at the left is hottest due to the central star and other embedded stars. The clumpy, red matter is colder and represents jets from less mature protostars: https://news.stsci.edu/3U8T7Bz đź”

Webb uncovers two bright early galaxies, one potentially holding the most distant starlight, existing just 350 and 450 million years after the Big Bang. #NASAWebb #JamesWebb
#NASAWebb has provided a crash course on planet-shattering collisions, providing clues to the amount of energy in their collisions. (1/6) đź§µ đź” đź§Ş
#NASAWebb data is helping scientists identify the types of collisions—high or lower energy—occurring between Moon- and Mars-sized objects in young stellar environments. Our solar system is thought to have undergone similar events to form the Moon: https://news.stsci.edu/47mLryB
