James Webb Space Telescope’s first images – Highest available resolution image of the Cosmic Cliffs region of the Carina Nebula captured by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). This reveals previously obscured areas of star the Cosmic Cliffs, the region is actually the edge of a giant, gaseous cavity roughly 7600 light-years away. The area has been eroded from the nebula by the intense UV radiation & stellar winds from massive, hot, young stars located in the centre of the bubble, above the area shown. 12 July 2022 Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI / Alamy Live News via Digitaleye
