On December 25, 2021, the American space exploration agency ‘NASA’ successfully launched the world’s most powerful and efficient ‘James Webb’ space telescope from the rocket launch pad in French Guiana using the Ariane 5 rocket.

Researchers have worked hard for years to build this telescope with a huge budget of around 75 thousand crores in India value. The James Webb Telescope is orbiting the Sun three times the distance from the Moon.

Scientists say that through this telescope we will be able to know information about the universe that we do not know so far. According to this, last year NASA released photographs of the cluster of galaxies taken by the James Webb Telescope.

In this case, NASA has now published a photo of a region where stars are formed in space, taken by this telescope. The region of space where stars form is called a nebula. Currently taken NGC This region, known as 346, is about 2 lakh light-years away from Earth.

In this photo, the star formation region looks like a cluster of ribbons. Scientists say that when stars are formed, large amounts of dust and gas are added to it to form such a ribbon-like cluster, and by studying this, we can learn information about how stars including our Sun were formed.
