TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of two actively forming stars, known as Herbig-Haro 46/47, located about 1,470 light-years away. The image, produced using the telescope's powerful infrared sensors, reveals a salmon-colored smear at the center, representing the area where the stars are found. The image also showcases conical regions of darkness, which are shadows of a gassy, dusty disk surrounding the stars. Two large "lobes" on either side of the disk, made up of material ejected by the stars, are also visible. The image provides scientists with valuable insights into star formation processes.
