An amazing cosmic phenomenon was first recorded by a NASA telescope (PHOTO)

    The James Webb Space Telescope has captured for the first time a phenomenon that astronomers have long hoped to capture directly.

    This was reported by the NASA press service.

    In the image, astronomers discovered an intriguing group of protostellar leaks, which form when jets of gas erupting from newborn stars collide with gas and dust nearby at high speeds.

    It is noted that such objects usually have different orientations within the same region. However, in this photo they are tilted in the same direction and equally.

    Astronomers have long assumed that when clouds collapse to form stars, the stars will spin in the same direction, the researchers note. “However, this has not been observed so directly before.”

    Scientists say these aligned, extracted structures in the image provide historical evidence of the fundamental way stars are born:

    • when a cloud of interstellar gas compresses to form a star, it begins to spin faster. The only way for the gas to keep moving inward is to get rid of some of the spin (known as angular momentum). A disk of material forms around the young star, transporting matter downward, like a whirlpool around a drain. Swirling magnetic fields in the inner disk push some of the material into twin jets that fly outward in opposite directions, perpendicular to the material disk;
    • In the Webb image, these jets are indicated by bright red clumps, which are shock waves from the contact of the jet with surrounding gas and dust. Here, red color indicates the presence of molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

    The photo was taken with James Webb’s near-infrared camera. In this amazing image of the Ophiuchus Nebula, the region in question is located in the northern part (top left) of this young, star-forming region.

    This region of the Ophiuchus Nebula – Ophiuchus Northern – becomes clearly visible only thanks to the Webb, the scientists note. “We can now capture these extremely young stars and their origins, some of which previously appeared as just spots or were completely invisible in optical wavelengths due to the thick dust surrounding them.

    The Ophiuchus Nebula, located 1.3 thousand light years from Earth, is only one to two million years old, which is a very young age by cosmic standards. It is also home to a particularly dense cluster of newly formed stars (about 100,000 years old) visible at the center of this image. Some of these stars will eventually grow into the mass of the Sun.

    The Ophiuchus Nebula is a reflective nebula, that is, a cloud of gas and dust that does not create its own light, but glows by reflecting light from stars located close to or inside the nebula.
