The James Webb Telescope captured a rare and magnificent image of a protostar with an amazing hourglass image.
NASA and James Webb Telescope have been producing rare images to help astronomers, scientists, and NASA understands stars and galaxies.
NASA and James Webb Telescope
The James Webb Telescope has been on a mission to provide clear and best images of the galaxies.
According to Webb Space Telescope's website, the Webb Telescope is an infrared space observatory.
With the advanced instruments and technologies, Webb Telescope could look into infrared radiation coming from galaxies, exoplanets, solar systems, and stars.
The inputs from the images and observations could be vital to investigate the universe and stars' formation.
As part of the initiative, the James Webb Telescope has been committed and collaborated with other agencies, including the European Space Agency (ESA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and NASA.
The telescope has been instrumental in NASA and astronomical research.
Hourglass of light
According to Newsweek, the James Webb Telescope has been important in capturing the star formation in a magnificent hourglass.
The report noted that the Taurus star-forming could only be observed or detected using infrared light. The image was not easy to capture, considering the clouds in the area.
NASA reported that they detected a rare image of a protostar. It was located in the L1527 within the dark cloud.
According to Dr. Klaus Pontoppidan, the image revealed an amazing detail they had never seen, and that the image showed an opaque with the absence of infrared light.
Dr. Pontoppidan works as a scientist at Space Telescope Science Institute in Maryland.

The article reported that the James Webb Telescope would be helpful as it could observe within clouds of dust.
The report noted that the captured protostar was still growing as it absorbed gas.
Newsweek added that the protostar was said to be 500 light years from the Earth's location. Although the stars are far, it was noted to be the nearest young star.
The report also pointed out that the formation of the star appears to be over 100,000 years old.
Pin-Wheel Shape Grand Spiral Galaxy
The James Webb Telescope has also recently captured a rare image of a pin-wheel-shaped grand galaxy.
According to reports, the Hubble Space Telescope did capture a beautiful and mesmerizing image of a grand spiral galaxy. The European Southern Observatory added that the image became the ESO's week picture showing detailed arms of NGC 4254.
The report added that the image was called the Coma Pinwheel or Messier 99.
The continuous study of the galaxies using technologies helps unveil new knowledge about the galaxies' mysteries.
In other reports, the James Webb Telescope also took an image of a stellar nursery in the Orion Nebula. The discovery would be vital for scientists and astronomers to look beyond the stars' formation.
