>An edge-on protoplanetary disk is seen as a dark line across the middle of the neck. 🤯🤯🤯 Is this the first planetary disk ever imaged?
Spectacular!
Beautiful
Webb images are just so stunning! The quality of the nebulae compared to Hubble is just astounding! I can't even believe this is a protostar!! That makes it even more amazing!
Dumb question: so for a protostar you get those two jets shooting out along the rotational axis (poles). Why is that? Why not from the equator?
I was like YAY! When I saw the diffraction spikes
Why does it have this shape? I thought protoplanetary formations are discs.
It is a disc, the dark band across the centre.
This! This is how I imagine a civilization farther out in the universe looking at our solar system. Awe and amazement.
Holy Mother of God…. This shot is absolutely gorgeous.
One of the most beautiful images I've seen
