James Webb Space Telescope investigates molecular cloud & studies pre-stellar ice chemistry
Imaging Recource TipsThe James Webb Space Telescope has identified frozen forms of a range of molecules using its NIRCam instrument. A team of astronomers has created an inventory of some of the deepest, coldest ices ever measured in a molecular cloud. The team identified simple ices, like water, alongside molecules including carbonyl sulfide, ammonia, methane and methanol. The Webb Telescope team writes, "This is the most comprehensive census to date of the icy ingredients available to make future generations of stars and planets, before they are...
