The James Webb Space Telescope has given astronomers their first ever view of jets of gas hurtling outwards from newborn stars and smashing into cosmic gas and dust at high speeds.<\/p>

The phenomena are seen in a new image of the Serpens Nebula, a young reflection nebula<\/a> – just 1 or 2 million years old – in which new stars<\/a> are forming.<\/p>
