"James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Cosmic Crib's Newborn Protostar"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning image of a newborn star surrounded by a luminous cloud of gas and dust, known as a Herbig-Haro object. Using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), the JWST observed the intricate details of the object, revealing shock collisions and heated molecules. The image also suggests the presence of twin outflows, indicating the possibility of two stars located in the dark hollow. Infrared observations are crucial for studying young stars and probing these cosmic bodies, as they can penetrate the gas and dust cocoons that surround them.
