The Birth of a Star: A Look into the Protostar in L1527, James Web Space Telescope in 3D #short
In this stunning image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), we witness the birth of a star, the protostar within the dark cloud L1527. The protostar is surrounded by a cloud of material feeding its growth and has ejected material, clearing out cavities above and below it, whose boundaries glow orange and blue in this infrared view. The right central region displays bubble-like shapes due to sporadic ejections from the star, while filaments made of molecular hydrogen shocked by past stellar ejections can be seen throughout the image. The boundaries of the cavities are straight on the top left and right and curved on the bottom right and left, and the region at the left appears blue due to less dust between it and Webb than the orange regions above it. Styx AI, a company specializing in image processing of medical and astronomical images, has used its innovative techniques based on quantum mechanics to create an AI-generated depth filter and compose 3D images of this protostar, further highlighting the beauty and complexity of this fascinating object.
