James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled groundbreaking insights into Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled groundbreaking insights into Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, one of the most active objects in our outer solar system! 🌠🔍
🔭 Utilizing its advanced spectrographic capabilities, scientists have observed multiple jets of gas streaming from this fascinating celestial body. For the first time, they identified two jets of carbon dioxide (CO₂) bursting forth to the north and south, alongside a carbon monoxide (CO) jet heading northward! This incredible data expands our understanding of these hybrid objects that bridge the worlds of comets and trans-Neptunian bodies.
Join us in marveling at the universe's wonders! 🌌💫 Check out the full story and images captured by Webb here: https://www.jameswebbdiscovery.com/discoveries/james-webb-telescope-reveals-new-insights-into-centaur-29ps-gas-eruptions
