Space telescope records baby star's first screams
...
Towards the centre of... HH212, is a star coming into existence that is probably no more than 50,000 years old.
The scene would have looked much the same when our Sun was a similar age.
You can't actually see the glow from the protostar itself because it's hidden within a dense, spinning disc of gas and dust.

A new set of simulations suggests that the unusual brightness of early galaxies discovered by the James Webb telescope could be because of a strange, rapid-burst mode of star formation.

Jupiter-sized "planets" free-floating in space, unconnected to any star, have been spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
What's intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them.
The telescope observed about 40 pairs in a fabulously detailed new survey of the famous Orion Nebula.

Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered tentative evidence of a sign of life on a faraway planet.
It may have detected a molecule called dimethyl sulphide (DMS). On Earth, at least, this is only produced by life.
The researchers stress that the detection on the planet 120 light years away is "not robust" and more data is needed to confirm its presence.

Mesmerising images of the end stages of a distant star's life have been captured by the James Webb space telescope (JWST).
They show an unprecedented level of detail of a doughnut-like structure of glowing gas known as the Ring Nebula.
Some 2,600 light-years from Earth, the nebula was born from a dying star that expelled its outer layers into space.

It's exactly one year since the super observatory was handed over to astronomers to begin using in anger.
And to celebrate, the US space agency Nasa has just released a spectacular image of one of the most photographed parts of the sky.
It's the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, which is the nearest star-forming region in space to us, being just 400 light-years away.
