07/15/2024 : NASA’S WEBB INVESTIGATES ETERNAL SUNRISES, SUNSETS ON DISTANT WORLD
❱

Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have finally confirmed what
models have previously predicted: An exoplanet has differences between its
eternal morning and eternal evening atmosphere. WASP-39 b, a giant planet with a
diameter 1.3 times greater than Jupiter, but similar mass to Saturn that orbits
a star about 700 light-years away from Earth, is tidally locked to its parent
star. This means it has a constant dayside and a constant nightside—one side of
the planet is always exposed to its star, while the other is always shrouded in
darkness.

Image Details - This artist’s concept shows what the exoplanet WASP-39 b could
look like based on indirect transit observations from NASA’s James Webb Space
Telescope as well as other space- and ground-based telescopes. Data collected by
Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) show variations between the eternal
morning and evening atmosphere of the planet.

VIDEO TOUR


In July 2022, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope observed El Gordo, a galaxy
cluster that existed 6.2 billion years after the big bang. It was selected as
the most massive galaxy cluster known at that time in cosmic history. The
resulting image reveals a variety of gravitationally lensed galaxies, including
striking objects nicknamed the Fishhook and the Thin One. Come with us on a
video tour of this new infrared image from Webb. Transcript of Video.

ZOOM IN TO RHO OPHIUCHI

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Travel to the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. The journey begins with a ground-based
image by astrophotographer Akira Fujii, then transitions into a plate from the
Digitized Sky Survey. Next a two-color image from the now-retired infrared NASA
Spitzer Space Telescope appears, and then finally the video arrives at the James
Webb Space Telescope’s image of the star-forming region.

The star-forming region captured in Webb’s image is small and not particularly
active compared to other well-known star-forming regions. It is the region’s
proximity to Earth (390 light-years) that allows Webb to capture it in such
detail, emphasizing the structure of jets bursting from young solar-mass stars,
and a dusty “cave” of glowing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Note: There is
no audio.

IMAGE COMPARISON INFO:

 * The chaotic merging galaxies II ZW 96 have been examined in two distinct
   wavelengths in these images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the
   NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.
 * The image on the left was taken by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys and
   gives a view over the visible-light spectrum of this merger, clearly showing
   the starburst systems that have formed between the two galactic cores with
   their older stars.
 * The image on the right, Webb’s image from the Near-InfraRed Camera shines
   particularly brightly in infrared light. The star-forming regions which have
   been activated by the galactic tumult are particularly luminous in the
   infrared, which placed ZW II 96 as one of Webb’s first targets.
