Hidden in the neck of this “hourglass” of light are the very beginnings of a new star — a protostar. The clouds of dust and gas within this region are only visible in infrared light, the wavelengths that Webb specializes in.

That would be really interesting for sure. Hopefully one day we’ll be able to look at this as a fully fledged star with its own thriving solar system!
