The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This ...

The most powerful telescope ever launched into space uncovered a cluster of forming stars within the "toe beans" of the Cat's ...

The Cat's Paw (NGC 6334) is a massive star-forming region about 5,500 light years from the sun that spans about 320 light-years.

NGC 6334, also known as the Cat’s Paw Nebula, comes alive in this infrared image from the Spitzer Space Telescope. NGC 6334 is forming stars so rapidly that it is undergoing a “mini-starburst.” Young ...

Astronomers have identified NGC 6334 as a region in our galaxy that may deserve the “starburst” title and may help explain what leads to the furious production of new stars in this type of region.

Situated in the Scorpius constellation, the Cat’s Paw Nebula (NGC 6334) and Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357) rest 5,500 and 8,000 light years from Earth respectively.

NGC 6334 is located about 5500 light-years away from Earth, while NGC 6357 is more remote, at a distance of 8000 light-years. Both are in the constellation of Scorpius (The […] ...

To mark its third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to scratch beyond the surface of the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), a massive, local ...

To celebrate its third year of revealing stunning scenes of the cosmos in infrared light, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope ...
