Cat's Paw Nebula, Kids' PuzzleCats Paw Nebula To celebrate NASAs James Webb Space Telescopes third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the telescope to scratch beyond the surface of the Cats Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), a massive, local star forming region. This area is of great interest to scientists, having been subject to previous study by NASAs Hubble and retired Spitzer space telescopes, as they seek to understand the multiple steps required for a turbulent

NIRCam effectively balances the brightness of the star with the fainter gas and dust surrounding it

The cavernous area has been carved out of the nebula by intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive

It is a region where energetic ultraviolet light from the Trapezium Cluster—located off the upper-left corner—interacts with dense molecular clouds
