Stellar birth from column of dust registered by James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a remarkable image showing a column-shaped structure composed of dust and stellar material. This suggests the presence of active star formation in the region known as IRAS 15398-3359. The column formation provides visual evidence of the presence of dust and gas clouds, which are essential for the formation of stars. Gravity plays a crucial role in the coalescence of these particles, leading to the condensation and accumulation of material, ultimately forming protostars. The visually striking column indicates the ongoing star-forming nature of the region. In addition, the study of the interstellar medium (ISM), which consists of gas and dust particles, is of great interest as it plays a vital role in stellar and planetary system formation. JWST, with its powerful Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), has successfully captured images of stellar populations and the ISM. The detailed imagery, including 4K resolution renders, provides important empirical evidence for studying stellar phenomena and their impact on the surrounding interstellar medium. Further research with the JWST will contribute to our understanding of star formation, interstellar processes, and the dynamics of the Universe. Enjoy the journey with this video!
