NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared view of the Pillars of Creation strikes a chilling tone. Thousands of stars that exist in this region disappear – and seemingly endless layers of gas and dust become the centerpiece.
The detection of dust by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is extremely important – dust is a major ingredient for star formation. Many stars are actively forming in these dense blue-gray pillars. When knots of gas and dust with sufficient mass form in these regions, they begin to collapse under their own gravitational attraction, slowly heat up – and eventually form new stars.
Although the stars appear missing, they aren’t. Stars typically do not emit much mid-infrared light. Instead, they are easiest to detect in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. In this MIRI view, two types of stars can be identified. The stars at the end of the thick, dusty pillars have recently eroded the material surrounding them. They show up in red because their atmospheres are still enshrouded in cloaks of dust. In contrast, blue tones indicate stars that are older and have shed most of their gas and dust.
Mid-infrared light also details dense regions of gas and dust. The red region toward the top, which forms a delicate V shape, is where the dust is both diffuse and cooler. And although it may seem like the scene clears toward the bottom left of this view, the darkest gray areas are where densest and coolest regions of dust lie. Notice that there are many fewer stars and no background galaxies popping into view.
Webb’s mid-infrared data will help researchers determine exactly how much dust is in this region – and what it’s made of. These details will make models of the Pillars of Creation far more precise. Over time, we will begin to more clearly understand how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years.
MIRI was contributed by ESA and NASA, with the instrument designed and built by a consortium of nationally funded European Institutes (the MIRI European Consortium) in partnership with JPL and the University of Arizona.

These are the highest quality NASA prints ever produced. The bright clusters and nebulae of planet Earth's night sky are often named for flowers or insects. Though its wingspan covers over 3 light-years, NGC 6302 is no exception. With an estimated surface temperature of about 250,000 degrees C, the dying central star of this particular planetary nebula has become exceptionally hot, shining brightly in ultraviolet light but hidden from direct view by a dense torus of dust. This sharp and colorful close-up of the dying star's nebula was recorded in 2009 by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera...Category

- Pascal Smelik, Helios Sunset from Stone 'S', Wall Light Sculpture, 2021, APBy Pascal SmelikLocated in BUNNIK, UTTitle: Helios, sunrise from stone Material: glass, electrodes, transformers, steel and marble. Gas: helium Size: 130cm (l) x 80cm (ø) / 51.2″ (l) x 31.5″(ø) Year: 2021 Edition: AP Helios Sunset From Stone is a light sculpture in which a color and form-rich gas process can be viewed up close. They show the manifestation of the excited noble gas helium. One can clearly see which color this noble gas radiates, and how the light intensity is manipulated by using various glass tube diameters (10mm-20mm-30mm). The eclipse of glass is placed in a pleasantly contrasting rectangular marble fixture. All elements of Helios have been developed and produced by the finest craftsman in the Netherlands. Helium is the only element discovered outside of the atmosphere of our earth, and is the basic element involved in the formation of several stars in our universe. This was discovered during the analysis of the Solar Corona during a solar eclipse, which was also the inspiration for the design language of this wall mounted light sculpture Colour differences may occur due to the use of the (natural) element helium. Helium emits light slightly different per location on Earth. Note. This particular Helios is one of the two ( 'S' ? 80cm / 31.5inch) Helios Pascal Smelik...Category
