This is a fascinating animation, sped up from reality by a factor of 600000x

Originally shared by Friends of NASA

Protostar and Nebula LRLL-54361

“I never get tired of these intimate looks into dusty nebulae facilitated by the wonder of infrared photography. This is a single-channel (monochrome) near-infrared image of an object suspected to be a binary protostar. The actual protostar is located about 1/3 of the way from the top of the image centered horizontally.”

Note: The animation plays fast, but the light actually took 23 days to go that far!

All channels: WFC3 / IR F160W

North is NOT up. It is 15.84° counter-clockwise from up.
