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.

L1527, shown in this image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescopeโs 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.

๐๐ญ Thanks to the remarkable capabilities of the James Webb #Space #Telescope (JWST), we now have an unprecedented view of a #star in the process of formation.
โ The object in focus is HH 30, a #protostar situated in the Taurus #Molecular Cloud, approximately 450 light-years from Earth.
