This is an image from the JWST Space Telescope in near infrared. Colours has been assigned to monochromatic filters. The image showcases a glowing, conical-shaped cloud of deep orange, red, and yellow gas stretches from the lower right to the upper left. This structure, known as Herbig-Haro 49/50, has a swirling, textured appearance and takes up most of the image. At its lower right end, the cloud has a rounded, translucent shape with a golden glow. Nearby, a spiral galaxy with a bright blue core fades into reddish-orange arms against the dark backdrop of space. As the cloud extends upward, it widens slightly, with red and amber hues blending into the surrounding darkness. The background is filled with bright white stars and distant galaxies in shades of white, yellow, and blue.
