James Webb Space Telescope HH 30 Protoplanetary Disc
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning image of HH 30, an edge-on protoplanetary disc located in the dark cloud LDN 1551, also known as the Taurus Molecular Cloud, located 450 light-years from Earth. Herbig-Haro objects like this one are basically small nebulae found in star formation regions, marking the locations where gas flowing out from young stars is heated into luminescence by shockwaves.
