A new image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope shows a star coming into existence. 

The BBC reported that towards the centre of an object, called HH212, is a star coming into existence that is probably no more than 50,000 years old.

The glow from the protostar itself is visible because it's hidden within a dense, spinning disc of gas and dust.

The report said the scene would have looked much the same when our Sun was a similar age.
