It's Not Just a Star! The Latest James Webb Space Telescope Image Explained (4K)

The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) has recently captured its most detailed image yet, less than three months after its launch in late December. NASA has confirmed that they have reached a new milestone in their efforts to set up the state-of-the-art telescope's optical system as it prepares for its first scientific observations in the summer. The new image shows a single, bright star against a backdrop of other, dimmer stars and galaxies in the far distance. This is the highest resolution infrared image ever taken from space. Webb is the next great space science observatory following Hubble, designed to answer outstanding questions about the Universe and to make breakthrough discoveries in all fields of astronomy. Webb will see farther into our origins: from the formation of stars and planets to the birth of the first galaxies in the early Universe.

    Excellent image. For those interested, the star imaged is called 'HD 84406 ', a G8IV type star with an age similar to the Sun, 4.5 billion years. So far, no exoplanets have been found around this star. However, given its low metallicity of −0.055 dex, it is likely that the system indeed hosts exoplanets. Given its high luminosity, 13 times higher than the Sun, any habitable exoplanet around this star is likely to orbit further away than the distance the Earth orbits the Sun.

    Thanks! BTW, the designation given in the video, "2MASS J17554042+6551277," I believe refers to its entry in a certain catalog, along with its celestial coordinates. Many stars appear in several different catalogs, and the same star will have very different designations in its various listings. In another catalog, this star is indeed known as "HD 84406." "2MASS" is the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey, the wavelength of 2 µm being in the near infrared. "J" tells what epoch the coordinates are given in (Earth's precession slowly changes them over the centuries; year 2000.0 is currently the most used, but someone more knowledgeable than I, will have to weigh in here on whether J means that, or some other epoch.) "17554042" means 17h 55m 40.42s of Right Ascension (a kind of celestial longitude that's measured in hours, minutes, and seconds, with 24 h being a full 360º). "+6551277" means 65º 51' 27.7" declination (celestial latitude, with "+" for north, "-" for south). [Please correct anything I may have wrong here.] Fred

Growing up in a rural area on a 165 acre cattle farm, free of almost all light pollution, looking up at the stars on a cold, crisp winter night, with a star chart in hand. And here we are now, 4 decades later, looking into the IR spectrum in ways we've never looked before. Whoever worked on the JWST and put it into orbit are true heroes in human history.

    @@cardboardboxification This 100% false. We have clear evidence that shows how life almost certainly began. Also, there are expontentially more planets that CAN support carbon based life as we know it. To further drive home the point, there are plenty of other candidates for which life can form and adapt, just look at extromophile organisms that hang out miles below the surface of the ocean using volcanic vents to stay warm and gather nutrients. We know very little about life except for that we have a solid understanding for how it most certainly took off. Are there missing links? Totally, but we can fill in the gaps with exceptionally accuracy and predict it, just like we do when we predict other physics and realms of possibility. And to be fair, I believe in god. But it's arrogant and stupid to believe that God only made us. We are not special. We are beings of this universe. It's not dumb to think that maybe the Big Bang is when God snapped the universe into creation. Defining the laws of physics as we know it. Either way, don't be so arrgoant to believe we cam from "the seeds of life". That's not how our universe works...
