Herbig-Haro 211 and the James Webb Space Telescope: A Game Changer in Astronomy


 The interesting interplay between these gasses and their surroundings, as evidenced by the collision of shock waves with nearby gas and dust particles, offers an astounding picture of cosmic birth. The most recent Webb observations have provided astronomers with crucial information on the speed and direction of these shock waves.

The narrative of Herbig-Haro 211 had already piqued the astronomical community's interest. Previously, ground-based telescopes discovered huge bow shocks flowing in different directions, some away from Earth (north-west) and others toward Earth (south-east). However, recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed a new layer to this cosmic story, demonstrating that Herbig-Haro 211's outflow is relatively slow compared to more mature protostars with comparable types of outflows.
