What did the Sun look like when it was First Born?

What did the sun look like when it was first born? The Webb Telescope captured new images of the “celestial baby” HH212.

The current industry consensus on the age of the sun is that it is more than 4 billion years old. So what will it look like when it is “newly born”? NASA used the James Webb Space Telescope to photograph HH212 in the constellation Orion, showing us what the sun might have looked like when it was “newly born”.

Naijatechnews hereby attaches a picture captured by NASA. The “birth and growth” of the HH212 star is accompanied by “violence” and will produce powerful shock waves and energy jets.

HH212 is about 1,300 light-years away from Earth, close to the three bright stars Orion ζ (Alnitak), Orion ε (Alnilam), and Orion δ (Mintaka) in Orion’s Belt.

The protostar in the center ejects high-speed gas to both ends and interacts with the surrounding medium to form a series of bright nodules and bow shock waves. The jet extends 1.6 light-years in the image, and the larger image shows the jet extending a further 6.5 light-years to the left and right.

But in Webb’s image, the protostar cannot be seen because it is hidden behind a dense, rotating disk of gas and dust.
