Most massive known stars captured by the powerful Webb telescope

There are previously unseen things in the universe.

The European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency recently released an unprecedented view of the Tarantula Nebula, a giant region of swirling gas and dust. The hottest, most massive stars are located at this nebula, which is 161,000 light years away.

You can see the stars in the image above and below, but you can't see them directly in the picture. They look like blue. The dust and gas were blown away by the "blistering radiation" that came from these hot stars.

Thousands of massive, never-seen-before stars in that central cluster were revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope, which captured unparalleled amounts of light from deep space and views wavelengths that aren't visible to our eyes.

Astronomers and planetary scientists are very excited about the new images. A new image has just been dropped and you can make it full-screen by clicking on the picture. It's like we've never seen it before.

According to NASA, the Tarantula Nebula is making stars at a much higher rate than star-forming regions in our galaxy. Astronomers can see a view of a star-creating process from the past.

New insights about the universe are expected to be revealed by the 1 million miles away from Earth outpost. Here's how he will do it.

• The mirror is over 21 feet wide. The Hubble Space Telescope's mirror is two and a half times bigger. The more light that is captured, the more distant the objects are. A few hundred million years after the Bigbang, the telescope will peer at stars and galaxies that formed over 13 billion years ago.

  "We're going to see the very first stars and galaxies that ever formed, and we're going to do it at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee," Jean said.

• The telescope views light in the range of theIR. We can see a lot more of the universe. The light waves in the sky are more efficient due to the longer wavelength of the IR light. Hubble's eyesight can't penetrate places that are not visible to the naked eye.

  It lifts the veil.

• Our understanding of distant worlds will be greatly improved by the use of specialized equipment that is carried by the telescope. Water, carbon dioxide, and methane can be detected by the instruments in the atmosphere of distant planets. The astronomer will look at planets in the stars. We don't know what we will find.

  According to Mercedes Lpez-Morales, an exoplanet researcher and astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics-Harvard & Smithsonian, we might learn things we didn't think about.
