It was recently spotted by the Space Telescope James Webb, the birth of a new star that ended up causing a cosmic disaster. The young star was found hidden behind the neck of an hourglass-shaped black cloud filled with gas and dust. There was also a black line, which was recognized as a protoplanetary disk right in the center of this dark cloud.

In the future, this gas and dust – together – could form a new planet, the size of which could reach the same size as our solar system. The light emitted by the star is what illuminated the disk, according to the press release.
James Webb recorded the unexpected birth of a star
This protostar still has a long way to go before actually becoming one.
L1527, as it has been called, together with the cloud found are only about 100,000 years old. While this age means a lot to us, when it comes to space and compared to the Sun, which is already about 4.6 billion years old, the star is still very young. Interestingly, blue and orange clouds were also found, creating a cavity as the disk moves away from the protostar.
This is also information given to the press.
Like cores brilliant And a cloud they are only visible com use of infrared light, but were caught for the camera from infrared next to Webb or NIRCam. For this reason the telescope is so important for the observation of space, given the interest in the search for new stars and planets.
“Shocks and turbulence inhibit a training of new stars, than otherwise would form along the cloud. As a result, the protostar dominates space., first great part Do Material for yes,” the statement said.
The Webb telescope was created by a partnership between NASA, a Agency European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency in July this year. It has also recently been used to observe the stars in more detail.
