James Webb observes the birth of a blazing star, NASA

Webb is present to see the magnificent event of a star being born in a blazing manner. The protostar in the dim cloud L1527 has recently been discovered features by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, providing new knowledge on the genesis of a star. Since these blazing clouds can only be seen in infrared light (NIRCam), the Taurus star-forming region is a good target for Webb's Near-Infrared Camera. The voids formed when material breaks away from the protostar and interacts with the surrounding matter are highlighted by the blue and orange clouds that dominate the region in this infrared view.

The photo's blue regions have the least amount of dust.  According to NASA, pockets of orange are created when there is too much dust preventing blue light from escaping. Webb also observes molecular hydrogen filaments that have been jolted by the protostar's material ejections.  Shocks and turbulence prevent new stars from forming in the cloud; otherwise, they would. Because of this, the protostar controls the region and keeps the majority of the resources for itself.
