"Stunning Image: James Webb Telescope Witnesses Birth of a Star"

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a protostar named HH12, located 1,300 light years from Earth, providing new insights into the formation of stars. The image reveals pinkish-red jets shooting in opposite directions, indicating the expulsion of angular momentum through magnetic fields. This is the first time scientists have obtained a "good color image" of a protostar, which will also shed light on the birth of our own Sun. The James Webb Space Telescope, launched two years ago, is situated over one million miles away and has been delivering stunning images of deep space.
