James Webb took a photograph of two stars 1,470 light years from Earth that are in the process of forming

The James Webb Space Telescope has allowed scientists to get another spectacular image of the Universe. The observatory photographed two stars in the formation stage.

Here's What We Know

James Webb made a photo of two stars in the visible infrared range, after which NASA specialists coloured and published the image. The stars are located in the constellation Vela at a distance of about 1470 light years from our planet. They are called Herbig-Haro 46/47.

The stars are located deep in the disc. They continue to successfully gain mass. The disc of gas and dust itself is not in the picture. Stars are presented in bright orange colour, and from them two-sided petals diverge.

Also scientists pay attention to the blue cloud. It's called the Bok globule. It's a region of dust and gas where sun-like stars form. Because James Webb shoots in infrared, he can see the objects behind the blue cloud.
