Scientists Discover 14 New 'Transients' In Space By Studying 'Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster' Using NASA Webb

Scientists have discovered 14 new 'transients', which are objects in space that appear to suddenly brighten and then fade away, in space, by studying the 'Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster'.

Researchers created a view of the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster by combining visible light data obtained from Hubble with Webb's infrared observations. They created the image by colour-coding the shortest wavelengths of light blue, the longest red, and intermediate green. ( Image Source :NASA via University of Missouri )

Scientists have discovered 14 new 'transients', which are objects in space that appear to suddenly brighten and then fade away, in space, by studying the 'Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster' using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (Webb). The official name of the galaxy cluster is MACS0416. It is located 4.3 billion light years from Earth. The team of researchers, led by University of Missouri's Haojing Yan, created a view of the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster by combining visible light data obtained
