James Webb Space Telescope captures never-before-seen star behaviour - YouTube - Space.com - European Southern Observatory - astrophysics

The Serpens Nebula is 13,000 light years from Earth and has a very dense cluster of newly forming stars only 100,000 years old,some of which will grow to the mass of our Sun.The discovery lies in the Northern region of this young,star-forming region.Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope found a group of protostellar outflows that formed when jets of gas from newborn stars collide with nearby dust regions at high speeds,uniquely slanted in one direction.The red colour indicates the presence of molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide.Using its Near-Infrared Camera,Webb can image these young stars and their outflows,previously obscured at optical wavelengths.
