The picture was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope and shows a star being born in the protoplanetary system Herbig-Haro 30.

Now due to the vastness of space, we aren’t *actually* looking at the exact moment the star was born, but rather, how this cosmic creation would have looked like when it happened thousands, if not millions of years ago.

It’s basically a whole lot of timey-wimey stuff over deep space.
