00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.460 align:middle line:90%


00:00:03.460 --> 00:00:05.860 align:middle line:84%
So, we observe a protostar,
which is a baby star,

00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:09.760 align:middle line:84%
and we try to use JWST to
see to the ice features

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:10.930 align:middle line:90%
around this protostar.

00:00:10.930 --> 00:00:14.275 align:middle line:84%
So, what happens is that this
ice contains the materials that

00:00:14.275 --> 00:00:17.140 align:middle line:84%
are going to shift directly
down to the center of protostar.

00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:19.000 align:middle line:84%
That could be part
of the building

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.850 align:middle line:84%
block for planets
or for the disk that

00:00:21.850 --> 00:00:23.050 align:middle line:90%
hosts the planet formation.

00:00:23.050 --> 00:00:27.070 align:middle line:84%
And so, this kind of process,
we don't quite understand.

00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:29.470 align:middle line:84%
And now we're starting
to get this look

00:00:29.470 --> 00:00:32.200 align:middle line:84%
because we can look at these
different evolutionary stages.

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.480 align:middle line:84%
We can look at before
a star has formed,

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:38.980 align:middle line:84%
while a star is forming, maybe
a little bit later when it has

00:00:38.980 --> 00:00:41.530 align:middle line:90%
just a disk around the star.

00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:46.480 align:middle line:84%
And so, we can understand kind
of how these molecules survive.

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:49.840 align:middle line:84%
And so, it's really interesting
to see, at this protostar

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.180 align:middle line:84%
stage, because that's
when we might be getting

00:00:52.180 --> 00:00:55.030 align:middle line:84%
these elements of life,
and that's how we got water

00:00:55.030 --> 00:00:57.500 align:middle line:90%
on earth potentially.

00:00:57.500 --> 00:00:58.000 align:middle line:90%
