Imagen de la formación de estrellas en el complejo de nubes Rho Ophiuchi, con flechas de brújulas, barra de escala y clave de color para referencia.
Las flechas de brújulas norte y este muestran la orientación de la imagen en el cielo. Tenga en cuenta que la relación entre el norte y el este en el cielo (como se ve desde abajo) se voltea en relación con las flechas de dirección en un mapa del suelo (como se ve desde arriba).
La tecla de color muestra qué filtros del instrumento Nircam (cámara infrarroja) de Webb se usaron al recolectar la luz. The color of each filter name is the visible light color used to represent the infrared light that passes through that filter.

About The Object Object Name Rho Ophiuchi Object Description Star-forming region R.A. Position 16:26:30.56 Dec. Position -24:23:04.16 Constellation Ophiuchus Distance 390 light-years away Dimensions Image is about 0.7 light-years across (6.4 arcminutes) About The Data Data Description This image was created with Webb data from proposal: (K. Pontoppidan) Instrument NIRCam Exposure Dates 07 March 2023, 4-6 April 2023 Filters F187N, F200W, F335W, F444W, F470N About The Image Color Info These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the NIRCam instrument. Several filters were used to sample wide and narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F187N, Light Blue: F200W, Cyan: F335W, Yellow: F444W, Red: F470N
About The Object Object Name A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. Object Description The type of astronomical object. R.A. Position Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position. Dec. Position Declination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position. Constellation One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears. Distance The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs. Dimensions The physical size of the object or the apparent angle it subtends on the sky. About The Data Data Description - Proposal: A description of the observations, their scientific justification, and the links to the data available in the science archive.
- Science Team: The astronomers who planned the observations and analyzed the data. "PI" refers to the Principal Investigator.
Instrument The science instrument used to produce the data. Exposure Dates The date(s) that the telescope made its observations and the total exposure time. Filters The camera filters that were used in the science observations. About The Image Image Credit The primary individuals and institutions responsible for the content. Publication Date The date and time the release content became public. Color Info A brief description of the methods used to convert telescope data into the color image being presented. Orientation The rotation of the image on the sky with respect to the north pole of the celestial sphere.
