Webb Unveils Young Stars across Every Stage of Formation
An area inside a star-forming molecular cloud. The background is covered with layers of gas and dust in blue, green and yellowish colors. Thicker clumps of cold dust, dark brown to black, block out light completely. Stars lie among and atop the clouds, from small orange ones to large white or blue ones. Waves and streams of glowing whitish gas are created by jets from protostars colliding with the surrounding material.
