A mesmerizing image of the protostar by JWST

This Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211) object image depicts a Class 0 protostar in the state that our Sun could be when it was a few tens of thousands of years old.

I was thinking recently how fascinating is the fact that something beautiful and unique like our Earth can be born out of probably one of the most powerful, horrific and destructive events in the Universe - a Supernova. Indeed, the scale of those events isn't even comparable with what we experience in everyday life. Any of these happening relatively close to us and everything we know would be annihilated within the seconds.. Another reminder how fragile our world is and what unique opportunity we have here, simply wasting it on meaningless fights, trades, money..
