NASA’s Webb Reveals Stars Sparking to Life in Cosmic Celebration

Outflows reveal characteristics about the region’s protostars and how they influence their environment.
Protostars are often shrouded by the same clouds of dust and gas that they grow in. Astronomers have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to learn how the protostars that comprise FS Tau, a young star system about 450 light-years away, shape their surroundings. Webb’s high-resolution view also reveals the intricate structures within dense dust clouds, where light scatters and reflects, much like how a fireworks display illuminates the clouds created by these colorful explosions.
