The James Webb Space Telescope detected dimethyl sulfide in its atmosphere (on Earth that comes from marine microorganisms). K2-18b is potentially habitable super-Earth about 2.6 times the size of our planet. It is located 124 light-years from the Solar System. #jamesWeb #space #telescope #scrolllink

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐉𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐛 What's at the tip of this interstellar jet? First let's consider the jet: it is being expelled by a star system just forming and is cataloged as Herbig-Haro 49 (HH 49). The star system expelling this jet is not visible -- it is off to the lower right. The complex conical structure featured in this infrared image by the James Webb Space Telescope also includes another jet cataloged as HH 50. The fast jet particles impact the surrounding interstellar gas and form shock waves that glow prominently in infrared light -- shown here as reddish-brown ridges. This JWST image also resolved the mystery of the unusual object at HH 49's tip: it is a spiral galaxy far in the distance. The blue center is therefore not one star but many, and the surrounding circular rings are actually spiral arms. #astronomy #space #stars #NASA #Webb #scrolllink

Deep space is full of mysteries that scientists are still trying to understand. It is the vast area beyond our solar system, filled with countless stars, galaxies, black holes, and strange cosmic phenomena. Many secrets of deep space remain unknown, such as how the universe began, what lies inside black holes, and whether life exists on other planets. Powerful telescopes and space missions help us explore these mysteries, but deep space is so enormous that much of it is still beyond our reach. The mystery of deep space inspires curiosity and shows how much more there is to discover about the universe.’ -Life Unfold #deepSpace #stars #planets #sun #otherEarth #mystry #scrolllink
