Zoom into The Horsehead Nebula | James Webb Space Telescope

This video takes the viewer on a journey through space to reveal a new image from the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope, the Horsehead Nebula. 

This zoom video features three unique views of the Horsehead Nebula, including images from as European Space Agency's Euclid telescope, the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope’s infrared view of the object, and finally revealing the new image from Webb's NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) instrument. It is the sharpest infrared image of the object to date, showing a part of the iconic nebula in a whole new light, and capturing its complexity with unprecedented spatial resolution. You can learn more about this new image here.
