NEWS RELEASE
Webb Space Telescope reveals previously shrouded newborn stars
Rice astronomer Megan Reiter and colleagues took a "deep dive" into one of the first images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and were rewarded with the discovery of telltale signs from two dozen previously unseen young stars about 7,500 light years from Earth. The study offers a glimpse of what astronomers will find with Webb's near-infrared camera, which is designed to peer through clouds of interstellar dust that have previously blocked astronomers' view of stellar nurseries, especially those that produce stars similar to Earth's sun.
