This is one of my favorite JWST observation ever! 🔭 💙

This is HH288, a star heavier than the Sun being born in front of our eyes! The jets are the result of that process. There is even another star being born near it, as the perpendicular jets are showing.

Hi, Thomas – PI of those observations here. Could you please acknowledge the people who successfully proposed for these JWST data to be taken & who designed the observations? FWIW, here's my take on the same dataset, which came with a lot of heavy-lifting.

Hey Mark! The credits are all put on the Flickr description of the image, with a direct link to the proposal as well

If you prefer, I can also do the same here with a response post to my previous one!
