A #Protostar is the earliest stage of stellar evolution, formed when a dense pocket within a molecular cloud collapses under its own gravity to create a hot, glowing core.

Though it shines brightly from the kinetic energy of infalling gas and dust, it is not yet a true star because it has not yet reached the temperatures required to trigger nuclear fusion.

#PhotoOfTheDay: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Finds Crystal-Spewing #Protostar

The NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the actively forming protostar EC 53 (circled at left) in the Serpens Nebula in this image.

A #Protostar is a very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud. The protostellar phase is the earliest one in the process of stellar evolution.

For a low-mass star (i.e. that of the Sun or lower), it lasts about 500,000 years.

#PhotoOfTheDay:L1527 (MIRI image)

L1527, shown in this image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), is a molecular cloud that harbors a #Protostar.

It resides in the constellation Taurus, about 460 light-years from Earth.

A #Protostar is a very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud. It represents the earliest phase of stellar evolution, before nuclear fusion begins in its core.

IRAS 04302+2247 is a young #Protostar located about 525 light-years away in the Taurus star-forming region, renowned for its striking "edge-on" view.

This unique orientation reveals a dense, dark protoplanetary disk of dust and gas that blocks the star's light and is believed to be a birthplace for future planets.
