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.

HH 49/50 is one of these impact sites. It was nicknamed the "Cosmic Tornado" due to its dramatic, swirling shape. Spitzer's images weren't clear enough to discern the fuzzy object located at its tip — but JWST 's are.

JWST's findings in the HR 8799 system provide key insights into gas giant formation, revealing carbon dioxide and enriching our understanding of exoplanets.
