@astro_alexandra: JWST imaged a molecular cloud in the Orion constellation and saw baby stars #space #nasa #Science #learnontiktokcontest #edutokcontest
I feel like Orion's Belt is a real waist of space...
Bad joke, I know. 3 stars at best

Keep in mind these "baby" stats are now full grown and already have life capable planets because of the relativity difference with how long it actually takes for light to travel. What they took an image of was 100s of thousands of years ago.

So many interesting molecular clouds in this region. This is my photo of the Orion nebula from last January. Only about 2 hours of exposure time.

mangolover :
so technically this has already happened millions of years ago right? we are only observing it as it was before?

people saying "first" when they're not: are you okay? Does someone pay you for being first or something?

So what you’re saying is that new planets are being created in Orion’s loins. Got it.

Why do I always see these videos at night and then suffer an existential crisis ?
