NASA released an image of a Herbig-Haro 211 showing a series of bow shocks in space.

The photo shows several details of the Herbig-Haro, which is defined as a luminous region around newborn stars that are formed when gas or stellar winds form shockwaves and affect gas and dust in the area, according to NASA. The space agency says the power of the Webb telescope allows these phenomena to be observed more clearly.

"The image showcases a series of bow shocks to the southeast (lower-left) and northwest (upper-right) as well as the narrow bipolar jet that powers them. Webb reveals this scene in unprecedented detail — roughly 5 to 10 times higher spatial resolution than any previous images of HH 211. The inner jet is seen to 'wiggle' with mirror symmetry on either side of the central protostar. This is in agreement with observations on smaller scales and suggests that the protostar may in fact be an unresolved binary star," NASA said in a blog post.

The space agency also said that observations of HH 211 have determined that the outflow of the object is "relatively slow" when compared to protostars, which are more evolved and have similar kinds of outflows.

The James Webb Space Telescope was launched into space by NASA in December 2021, and the space agency has been releasing the images from the telescope since July 2022.

For more than a year, NASA has released images of Neptune, Jupiter, and other parts of space from the Webb telescope, providing pictures that are significantly better than those of previous telescopes. Observations of space via the Webb telescope have allowed for breakthroughs in the ability of scientists to understand better the formation of the universe and of planets, such as Earth.
