The James Webb Space Telescope has snapped the celestial fireworks sparked by a star being born. Even as the world is totally engrossed in last month’s record-breaking solar storm that caused auroras to form even in India, the James Webb Space Telescope has been busy uncovering hidden gems in the Universe that are so far away in terms of space and time that the mind boggles at the prospect of making sense of it all. A supreme being? Your guess is as good as mine.

However, above all, the James Webb Telescope has shared images that are absolutely beautiful and fascinating to watch. That the Universe is ticking along just like a clock and stars and galaxies are busy being born and dying is an undeniable fact and all of that action is being captured by the James Webb Telescope. It did just that with a star-in-the-making.



The most recent amazing snapshot that it has taken and shared with the public is that of some fabulous celestial fireworks. These are light and hues that are being sparked in the process of a star being born. Yes, Webb Telescope has snapped the star in the process of being formed and captured the environment and material around it that it is feeding on to start itself up and be counted as a genuine star.

It has been dubbed as L1527. The James Webb Telescope image virtually brings to life the star and its desperate attempts to be born and the process has formed this fiery hourglass figure in deep cosmos. The image is courtesy the MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument).
