Webb Celebrates First Year of Science With New Image

NASA has released Webb’s image of a small star-forming region in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex on its first year anniversary of science operations.

NASA unveiled the latest snapshot Wednesday, revealing 50 baby stars in a cloud complex 390 light-years away. The region is relatively quiet yet full of illuminated gases, jets of hydrogen and even cocoons of dust with the delicate beginnings of even more stars.
