TL;DR Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a newborn star, known as Herbig-Haro 212 (HH212), located about 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Orion. The image shows red jets of gas and outflows originating from the protostar, which is estimated to be around 50,000 years old. HH212 is surrounded by older stars and a distant galaxy, and the image provides unprecedented detail of the region. The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam captured the image in the infrared wavelength range, as HH212 emits infrared light and is almost invisible to the human eye.
