The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NASA revealed the details of Barnard 33, which is located in the constellation Orion and, due to an interesting appearance, was called the Konsky head.
According to NASA, the cable head is like turbulent gas waves rising from the western side of Orion B, a star -forming molecular cloud located at a distance of 1300 light years from the Earth in the constellation Orion.
The nebula, illuminated by the nearest hot star, consists of a pillar of dense cold gas and dust formed as a result of light gas erosion.
According to astronomers, the column in question will disappear over 5 million years.
The camera of the near infrared range JWST (NIRCAM) shows the nebula with distant stars and galaxies visible over it; He focused on its upper part, which was a curved wall of thick smoky gas and dust.
Analyzing NIRCAM images using the average infrared range tool (Miri), the international group of astronomers determined small -scale structures on the illuminated edge of the nebula.
When the ultraviolet (UV) light evaporates a dust cloud, dust particles fly off the cloud along with heated gas, forming similar moving structures.
