Explanation: This spectacular mosaic of images from the James Webb Space Telescope peers into the heart of young star cluster NGC 1333. A mere 1,000 light-years distant toward the heroic constellation Perseus, the nearby star cluster lies at the edge of the large Perseus molecular cloud. Part of Webb's deep exploration of the region to identify low mass brown dwarf stars and free floating planets, the space telescope's combined field of view spans nearly 2 light-years across the dusty cluster's turbulent stellar nursery. In fact, NGC 1333 is known to harbor stars less than a million years old, though most are hidden from optical telescopes by the pervasive stardust. The chaotic environment may be similar to one in which our own Sun formed over 4.5 billion years ago.

It looks like a duck. Don’t tell the Haitians.
A dusty duck. A dark dusty duck.
Those ‘Youngstars’ think they’re all that and a bag of chips. I have no time for their foolishness. ;)
Breathtaking, as usual. :)
I see someone with his mouth wide open and using his left index finger to clean out the food stuck in his teeth.
I see that too. They got cheeseburger stuck in their teeth.
Questions:
Why are there blacked-out spaces on the image?
What are they hiding from us?
What is it which they do not want us to see?
Inquiring minds want to know.
There were similar things on the images of the rovers on Mars! ( ? )
