[ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.110 align:middle line:84%
This is the Webb Space
Telescope's infrared view

00:00:03.110 --> 00:00:07.730 align:middle line:90%
of the protostar L1527 IRS.

00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:11.600 align:middle line:84%
The forming star is hidden
within a dusty disk, roughly

00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:13.970 align:middle line:90%
the size of our solar system.

00:00:13.970 --> 00:00:17.420 align:middle line:84%
Material flows in from
the sides and then spirals

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:19.340 align:middle line:90%
onto the protostar.

00:00:19.340 --> 00:00:22.230 align:middle line:84%
Some is ejected
perpendicular to the disk,

00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:25.460 align:middle line:84%
producing the hourglass
shape of the nebula.

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:28.580 align:middle line:84%
Explosive emissions create
bubble-like structures

00:00:28.580 --> 00:00:30.830 align:middle line:90%
in the upper lobe.

00:00:30.830 --> 00:00:33.590 align:middle line:84%
In the lower lobe,
light from the protostar

00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:37.490 align:middle line:84%
illuminates and heats
some dusty clouds.

00:00:37.490 --> 00:00:42.010 align:middle line:84%
Only Webb can provide such
a detailed view of this star

00:00:42.010 --> 00:00:44.980 align:middle line:84%
still in the process
of formation.

00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:48.000 align:middle line:90%
