This animation explores the stages in the formation of stars and planets. Within a large, dense cloud, thousands of protostars collapse due to gravity. The infalling material forms a disk around the protostar, with jets emitted perpendicular to the disk. Planets condense and build up within the disk, establishing a new solar system. The James Webb Space Telescope infrared observations will peer into these dark clouds and dusty disks to examine this formation process with unprecedented clarity.

When we look out into space, we are also looking back into time. Astronomers can trace galaxy development by observing galaxies at great distances to reveal how galaxies appeared long ago. This example, using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, showcases the changes in galaxy appearance across billions of light-years of space, and thus billions of years in time. The Webb Space Telescope will enhance these observations and extend them to the earliest galaxies in the universe.
