#PPOD: NASA’s JWST observed Herbig-Haro 49/50, an outflow from a nearby still-forming star, in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light. The young star is off to the lower right corner of the image. The intricate features of the outflow, represented in a reddish-orange color, provide detailed clues about how young stars form and how their jet activity affects the surrounding environment.

A long tall column of red dust reaches up from the lower right to the upper left of this very detailed image from JWST. At the top end of the column, a galaxy appears to rest; however, that galaxy is in the background. Numerous background galaxies are also in the image as well as a few foreground stars with the tell-tale diffraction spikes of JWST's optics.
