NASA scientists have presented an amazing image of the protostellar jet HH212, located in the constellation Orion. This photo, taken with the James Webb Space Telescope, shows the Sun’s unusually violent birth and growth.
The image shows powerful gas emissions and jets of energy, which is a characteristic phenomenon during the birth of stars. The protostar HH212, located about 1300 light-years from Earth, is close to the well-known constellation Orion’s Belt. A photo taken by James Webb shows huge and dramatic gas emissions that scientists believe are likely used to regulate the birth of a star.
Scientists estimate that the protostar HH212 is about 50,000 years old. They also suggest that our Sun looked similar in the past. The jets and shocks visible in the image likely play an important role in preventing the star from getting out of control, which could lead to its disintegration.
Although the protostar itself is not visible in the photo, as it is hidden behind a dense rotating disk of gas and dust, the image still provides an interesting spectacle and emphasizes the importance of the James Webb Space Telescope in exploring our universe.
The scientific community hopes that the James Webb Space Telescope will help unlock the mysteries of the early Universe and improve our understanding of the processes underlying the formation of stars and planets.
