NASA's Webb captures fireworks around forming star

Diamonds of the season 💎 These glittering “gems,” or glowing orange dots, are actually four images of the same thing — an extremely bright object known as a quasar: esawebb.org/images/potm2406a/ So how did Webb end up with multiple copies? ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/dGgbTJdf9W

Resembling the fury of a raging sea, this image from our @NASAHubble telescope actually shows a bubbly ocean of glowing hydrogen gas. Learn more about the Omega Nebula — and download the full-size image for your background: flic.kr/p/2iwUZrk pic.twitter.com/B3mP0CGT5L

Cosmic fireworks in time for the Fourth of July✨ A fiery hourglass marks this cosmic object that's turning into a star. @NASAWebb's Mid-Infrared Instrument spotted this protostar 460 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus: go.nasa.gov/3xV15Db pic.twitter.com/CeqoZz6oLU

🆕 This NASA/ESA/CSA #Webb image shows the 'gravitational lensing' of the quasar known as RX J1131-1231 (the foreground galaxy 'smears' the image of the quasar behind it into a bright arc and creates four images of the object). pic.twitter.com/fpnqwc4Zeu
