Transition video: IRS 3 field
This video showcases three insights of the most detailed mid-infrared view yet of the field that hosts the highly evolved star IRS 3, which is located just 0.55 light-years from Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way galaxy's central supermassive black hole.
This first image shown includes data from Webb's NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid Infrared Instrument). The second video features only NIRcam data, while the third image uses only MIRI data.
