This new view from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) shows a stellar nursery called NGC 3324. It was taken using the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla ...

The landscape of "mountains" and "valleys" known as the Cosmic Cliffs is actually a portion of the nebula Gum 31, which contains a young star cluster called NGC 3324. Both Gum 31 and NGC 3324 are part ...

Pan across the James Webb Space Telescope's view of the Cosmic Cliffs, "a region at the edge of a gigantic, gaseous cavity within the star cluster NGC 3324," according to NASA/ESA. NGC 3324 is within ...

The Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory has imaged a region of star formation called NGC 3324. The intense radiation from several of NGC 3324's massive, ...

A tweet sparked a debate over one of the James Webb telescope’s first images. Software developer and amateur astronomer Kevin Jardine, who created the European Space Agency’s Star Density Map and runs ...

Matter flows away from the poles of newborn stars in fast-moving columns that plow through nebular clouds. Gas and dust pile up in front of these outflows, forming waves called “bow shocks” in much ...

Scientists taking a “deep dive” into one of Webb’s iconic first images have discovered dozens of energetic jets and outflows from young stars previously hidden by dust clouds.

NGC 3324 is located in the southern constellation of Carina (The Keel, part of Jason’s ship the Argo) roughly 7500 light-years from Earth. It is on the northern outskirts of the chaotic environment of ...
