A pretty cluster image! And upon seeing it, I thought of the opposite, an innermost cluster, the Quintuplet, I hope JWST peers into this one too! Before it gets ripped apart. weic2422a-2000x1200-1.jpgQ.jpg Hubble Interesting comparison. Thanks. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54003403104_4885a2...

What I find interesting about this image is that we can see large-scale structures in the shape of long twisted "tubes", and then there is a lot of small-scale turbulence inside those tubes. What keeps the small-scale turbulence contained inside those long tubes? Ann It's important to dis...

I said in my previous post in this thread that I could see no signs of planet formation in the disk around a young star inside NGC 1333. But what would such signs look like? The way I understand it, a newly formed planet would reveal itself as a gap in a protoplanetary disk, and the young planet wi...
