Astronomers have identified NGC 6334 as a region in our galaxy that may deserve the “starburst” title and may help explain what leads to the furious production of new stars in this type of region.

NGC 6334 is located about 5500 light-years away from Earth, while NGC 6357 is more remote, at a distance of 8000 light-years. Both are in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion), near the tip ...

What lies within a toe bean? According to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, mini toe beans composed of gas, dust, and stars. Since kicking off full science operations in July 2022, the James Webb Spa ...

The Cat’s Paw Nebula, NGC 6334, is a huge stellar nursery, the birthplace of hundreds of massive stars. In a magnificent new ESO image taken with the Visible and Infrared […] ...

To mark its third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to scratch beyond the surface of the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), a massive, local ...

Using ALMA, scientists have discovered one of the largest molecules ever seen in space in the space-birthing Cat's Paw nebula. The discovery hints at how chemical complexity emerges as stars form.

The Cat's Paw Nebula, also known as NGC 6334, is located in the constellation Scorpius about 4,000 light-years away. It is a "massive" emission nebula and star-forming region, according to NASA.
