NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has snapped a spectacular image of a "cosmic tornado" being burped out from a baby star. The image reveals an outflow of hot gas from a newborn star — known as a Herbig-Haro object — situated about 625 light-years from Earth in the constellation Chamaeleon.

HH 49/50 is one of these impact sites. It was nicknamed the "Cosmic Tornado" due to its dramatic, swirling shape. Spitzer's images weren't clear enough to discern the fuzzy object located at its tip — but JWST 's are.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope catches a rare cosmic coincidence: the collision of a spiral galaxy and a jet from an infant star, giving new light to the universe's amazing occurrences.
