Astronomers used NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe Westerlund 1 , a so-called super star cluster with hundreds of very massive and potentially thousands of lower-mass young stars, with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Westerlund is located across the Milky Way galaxy about 12,000 light-years from Earth .
Massive stars play an important role in shaping their environments, possibly even influencing the formation of stars, similar to our sun.
JWST MIRI data calibration of Westerlund 1 revealed the extended gas structures emanating from the most massive stars in the cluster.
Researchers from the Center of Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA ) and Lockheed Martin also played important roles in the analysis of these extensive datasets.
