Webb peers 3,300 light-years out and catches newborn stars in the act

The James Webb Space Telescope has pierced the dusty shroud of NGC 7129, a cradle of stars some 3,300 light-years from Earth, and photographed newborn stars at wildly different stages of growing up. Some are already blasting jets of gas into the clouds around them — a live demonstration of how baby stars carve out their neighborhoods, and a glimpse of what our own sun may have looked like in its infancy.
