The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured an image of a protostar in the early stages of its life. The protostar is hidden in the “neck” of a fiery hourglass. The protostar and its dark cloud, both named L1527, are located in the Taurus star-forming region about 460 light-years from Earth. 

The JWST used its near-infrared camera (NIRCam) to capture the image. NIRCam can capture scenes in the wavelength range of 0.6 to 5 microns, which is beyond what’s detectable in the visible spectrum. 

The protostar is hidden from view within the “neck” of the hourglass shape. The dark line that is visible cutting across the neck is a protoplanetary disc. 

The clouds are created by material ejected from the star colliding with surrounding matter. The dust is thinnest in the blue sections and thickest in the orange parts. 

The JWST has already changed astronomers’ understanding of the early universe. Among its most surprising observations has been the sheer number of extremely bright, ancient galaxies, which would have formed in regions rich in dark matter.
