It also exposes a scientific puzzle: researchers expected powerful stellar winds to produce considerably more X-ray-emitting hot gas than they observe.
Chandra provides the blue X-ray layer, showing hot gas produced when stellar winds collide and generate shock waves.
The James Webb Space Telescope contributes the red infrared layer, revealing thousands of young stars as well as extensive areas of cool dust.
Astronomers had already studied the amount of energy produced by winds from young, massive stars in the Tarantula Nebula.
In the Tarantula Nebula, hot gas could transfer heat directly to cooler gas within dense shell structures.
