NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured new infrared images showing protostars and young stars within the NGC 7129 nebula.[^1]

The nebula is located 3,300 light-years from Earth.[^3]

Webb's near-infrared sensitivity allowed researchers to peer past thick clouds of cold gas and dust that had obscured earlier views of the region.[^2]
