‘It's like finding buried treasure,’ said scientists analyzing new images from the James Webb Space Telescope through different filters. FOX13

She continued, "Now we know where to look next to explore what variables are important for the formation of sun-like stars."

The scale bar is labeled in light-years, which is the distance that light travels in one Earth-year. It takes 2 years for light to travel a distance equal to the length of the bar. One light-year is equal to about 5.88 trillion miles. This image showShe and her colleagues discovered 24 new outflows and 15 potential protostars and were able to identify jets of developing stars. One of those jets spewed cosmic matter light years from the newborn.

The scale bar is labeled in light-years, which is the distance that light travels in one Earth-year. It takes 2 years for light to travel a distance equal to the length of the bar. One light-year is equal to about 5.88 trillion miles. This image shows invisible near-infrared wavelengths of light that have been translated into visible-light colors.

One of the researchers, John Morse from the California Institute of Technology, analyzed images through different filters afforded by JSWT, and said, "It’s like finding buried treasure." "As young stars gather material from the gas and dust that surround them, most also eject a fraction of that material back out again from their polar regions in jets and outflows," stated NASA’s press release. "These jets then act like a snowplow, bulldozing into the surrounding environment."The James Webb Space Telescope captured DART's impact on Sept. 26. ; animation: Alyssa Pagan ).
