has captured yet another breathtaking image of the Orion Nebula, also known as Messier 42. Located to the south of Orion’s belt, the Orion Nebula is one of several star-forming cosmic bodies and includes the young Trapezium Cluster of stars near its core.Tech. Entertainment. Science.

Further, dozens of these worlds are orbiting each other, and scientists aren’t exactly sure how they formed or even why they exist in the first place. Samuel Pearson, a scientist with the European Space Agency whoAdditionally, Pearson says that there is something wrong with our understanding of how planets form, star formation, or even both, as we can’t account for why or how these planetary objects came to exist in the first place.
Scientists involved with the most recent study say that these Webb images are the best we’ve ever captured of the Orion Nebula, and that they will hopefully help us uncover more about this mysterious and highly studied portion of the night sky.
