While sharing the image, NASA has written, “If we could take a photo of the sun’s birth, it would look something like this. @NASAWebb What is visible in the image is a newly born star whose pole is moving at supersonic speed. The gas is being thrown into space. It is only a few thousand years old, but when it grows up it will be like our sun.
Explaining further about the process, NASA said that Herbig-Haro is formed when jets of gas erupt from both ends of the newly born star and collide with the surrounding gas and dust present in space. NASA said that this new star is a class-0 prostar which is only a few thousand years old. Its weight is only 8 percent of our Sun’s weight. But it will gradually take the same shape as our sun.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was launched in 2021. It started its work from 2022 in which it started collecting data. Since coming into operation, the James Webb Telescope has detected many pre-existing galaxies, and has discovered several black holes. It is said to be 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Telescope.
