CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The Webb Space Telescope has captured a plume of gas and dust streaming from a star in the making, with a spiral galaxy as a stunning backdrop.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope unveiled a stunning new image from the farthest reaches of space. This groundbreaking image showcases Herbig-Haro 49/50, a jet of gas and air emitted by a star that is still in the process of formation.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has snapped a spectacular image of a "cosmic tornado" being burped out from a baby star. The image reveals an outflow of hot gas from a newborn star — known as a Herbig-Haro object — situated about 625 light-years from Earth in the constellation Chamaeleon.
