Rho Ophiuchi is a cloud complex containing gas and stars of various sizes and ages.

The Cassiopeia A supernova remnant has been studied for over 2 million seconds since the Chandra mission began in 1999, with X-rays captured by Chandra (blue) and infrared data from Webb (orange, white, and blue).

In the Cygnus OB2 star cluster, massive stars emit intense high-energy radiation that can interfere with the delicate disks of dust and gas as they begin to coalesce, potentially disrupting the formation of new planets.

This composite image captures the Christmas Tree Cluster, where the blue and white lights represent young stars emitting X-rays, as detected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. 

This unusually distorted supernova remnant might hold the Milky Way's most recently formed black hole. 

Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes to reveal one of the most powerful black holes known.
