See James Webb Space Telescope's stunning 'fiery hourglass' protostar view in 4K

Good Thursday afternoon, my Brothers and Sisters in Arms...
Today I came across a phenomenal virtual trip to a fledgling star or ProtoStar, which takes on back to the beginning of a star's formation... The James Webb Space Telescope has succeeded once again...

Here is part of an article from "Science & Astronomy written by Robert Lea and published about one day ago...

"The newest space telescope on the block has spotted a blazing cosmic hourglass filled with vibrant colors and hiding a fledgling star, or protostar, at its heart.

The blazing formation within the Taurus star-forming region and the protostar within it has been hidden to telescopes by a dense, dark cloud of gas and dust known as L1527. The formation is only visible in infrared light thus making it an excellent target for the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb or JWST).

Astronomers hope that examining the cosmic hourglass will help illuminate the processes occurring around the protostar, which is itself hidden from view at the neck of the formation. The observations could also help explain how infant stars reach adulthood, according to a statement from the Space Telescope Science Institute in Maryland, which operates the telescope."

I hope you find this both fascinating and educational,
