Is there an overlay image of our SS over this one?

The image detail blows away expectations. It’s like visiting.

If the the star was not shrouded would its brightness obscure away the image detail?

The image above was constructed with longer-wavelength light, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Millimeter and submillimeter light lies at the transition between infrared and microwaves, and it’s perfect for seeing into the clouds surrounding newborn star systems.

If the the star was not shrouded would its brightness obscure away the image detail?

It would probably be more detailed and even more stunning.................
