Roll out the red carpet! The stars are here. 🤩⁣ ⁣ Star-forming region NGC 604 contains more than 200 of the hottest, most massive kinds of stars (B-type and O-type stars), all in the early stages of their lives. There is no region quite like this within our own Milky Way, making NGC 604 a perfect window for astronomers to study young, massive stars.⁣ ⁣ The NASAWebb Telescope has captured two different views of the region. The first image was taken in near-infrared light. It shows tendrils and clumps of bright red emission, extending out from large bubbles. Stellar winds from those bright, hot young stars have carved out these cavities.⁣ ⁣ In the second image, mid-infrared light reveals large clouds of cooler dust and gas glowing bright. Fewer stars are visible, as hot stars emit less light at these wavelengths. Some of the stars that can still be seen are red supergiants: stars that are cool but very large, hundreds of times the diameter of our Sun.⁣ Image descriptions:⁣ 1. At the...
