The cloud that creates a star is not left unchanged.
Some 3,300 light-years from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed young stars hidden within NGC 7129, a vast cloud of gas and dust.
As these stars form, powerful jets, winds and radiation interact with their surroundings. They carve cavities, generate shocks, disperse gas and compress material in neighboring regions.
The cloud gives birth to stars. The stars, in turn, begin to transform the cloud.
A system is shaped by its environment. But what happens when it begins to reshape that environment?
This is the deeper perspective behind Born From the Cloud: creation is not always a one-way process. What emerges can change the conditions from which it emerged.
Not a universal law demonstrated by this observation, but a remarkable example of feedback in nature.
