   I’m starstruck by this new #JWST image of one of my favorite astronomical objects 🤩

   Herbig-Haro 46/47 is a pair of jets launched by young stars, embedded in a dark nebula.

   The binary stars responsible for the jets shine brightly in the middle of the image, seen as one point of light with red diffraction spikes.

   The two-sided orange lobes were created by earlier outflows. More recent ejections appear as a blue line in the center of the lobes.
