[ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING]

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,110
This is the Webb Space
Telescope's infrared view

3
00:00:03,110 --> 00:00:07,730
of the protostar L1527 IRS.

4
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:11,600
The forming star is hidden
within a dusty disk, roughly

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,970
the size of our solar system.

6
00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:17,420
Material flows in from
the sides and then spirals

7
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:19,340
onto the protostar.

8
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:22,230
Some is ejected
perpendicular to the disk,

9
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:25,460
producing the hourglass
shape of the nebula.

10
00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:28,580
Explosive emissions create
bubble-like structures

11
00:00:28,580 --> 00:00:30,830
in the upper lobe.

12
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:33,590
In the lower lobe,
light from the protostar

13
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:37,490
illuminates and heats
some dusty clouds.

14
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:42,010
Only Webb can provide such
a detailed view of this star

15
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:44,980
still in the process
of formation.

00:00:44,980 --> 00:00:48,000
