Webb Space Telescope captures detailed image of young stars taking shape
- NASA released images from the James Webb Space Telescope showing two young stars forming known as Herbig-Haro 46/47.
- The images reveal disks of gas and dust fueling the stars' growth, as well as material ejected from the stars over thousands of years.
- The stars are located inside a nebula which influences their development and allows astronomers to see beyond it.
- Studying images of actively forming stars provides insights into star formation and planet formation.
- The powerful infrared capabilities of the Webb telescope are enhancing astronomers' understanding of the early universe.
