JWST has just captured two discoveries that reveal opposite sides of the cosmic story. One — a young protostar launching perfectly aligned jets — confirms decades of theory about how stars are born. The other — a strange, CO₂-rich disk around a young star — breaks those same expectations wide open.
In this video, we’ll explore both observations side by side:
🌟 How the protostar jet supports our models of magnetic fields and star formation
💨 Why the CO₂ discovery doesn’t fit what we thought we knew about disk chemistry
🔥 And what these findings mean for our understanding of how planets and solar systems take shape
