Overview
- The James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning image of the Serpens Nebula, a dense star-forming region 1,300 light-years away.
- Astronomers discovered a group of 12 protostars with aligned jets, a phenomenon not observed before.
- These aligned outflows suggest a magnetic field influence, offering new insights into star formation processes.
- The findings challenge previous assumptions about the random orientation of protostellar outflows in star clusters.
- Future studies with JWST are anticipated to further explore star-forming filaments and their magnetic properties.
