Herbig-Haro 46/47 Puzzle

Herbig-Haro 46/47 is a pair of young stars just a few thousand years old. This is the view in near-infrared light, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam instrument. The stars, which lie in the bright central region, are blasting out jets of material, visible as orange lobes. The entire complex is surrounded by a semi-transparent nebula of dust and gas.

This richly colored, high-resolution image includes 500 pieces and measures 15" x 21" upon completion.  Included is a bonus poster for reference during assembly.
