One of my favorite JWST images, the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula in molecular hydrogen. 🔭🧪 This image selects narrowband filters from the original "Cosmic Cliffs" image to highlight the shocks and outflows from forming stars. webbtelescope.org/contents/new...

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range.

SPACE IS SO COOL, I LOVE IT! I also really like the “Pillars of creation”, a small part of a nebula. The ring nebula is also super cool. But still, my current favorite space image is the JWST image of Stephan’s Quintet.
