NASA released images of two young stars forming in space more than a thousand light-years away from Earth taken from its James Webb Space Telescope.

The photo, processed in high-resolution near-infrared light, shows Herbig-Haro 46/47 which are located 1,470 light-years away from Earth.

"The most striking details are the two-sided lobes that fan out from the actively forming central stars, represented in fiery orange. Much of this material was shot out from those stars as they repeatedly ingest and eject the gas and dust that immediately surround them over thousands of years," NASA said in a blog post.

The space agency says the pair of stars will form over millions of years, and with the proximity of the Herbig-Haro 46/47 to Earth, details of the evolution of the two stars can be closely observed by the telescope.

Also visible in the photo is a blue cloud of dense dust and gas, known as a nebula.

"When viewed mainly in visible light, it appears almost completely black – only a few background stars peek through. In Webb’s crisp near-infrared image, we can see into and through the gauzy layers of this cloud, bringing a lot more of Herbig-Haro 46/47 into focus, while also revealing a deep range of stars and galaxies that lie well beyond it," the space agency said in a blog post.

The James Webb Space Telescope was launched into space by NASA in December 2021, and since its launch the space agency has been releasing the telescope's images since July 2022. NASA has released images of Neptune, Jupiter, and other parts of space from the Webb telescope, providing detailed pictures that are significantly better than those of previous telescopes.

Breakthroughs from the Webb telescope have allowed scientists to better understand the formation of the universe and of planets such as Earth.
