PAHs Revealed: New Webb Telescope View Shows Stunning MIRI Image of NGC 604 with Surprising Lack of Stars

by

Houston, Texas – New observations from the Webb telescope in the mid-infrared range offer a fresh perspective on the immense activity within the region of NGC 604. The MIRI view reveals a striking contrast with fewer visible stars, as hot stars emit less light at these wavelengths while cooler gas and dust clouds radiate. Some of the stars present, like red supergiants, are notable for their size, hundreds of times larger than our Sun, though …
