NASA | JWST Feature - Planetary Evolution

The video explores the birthplaces of stars and planets within the galaxy, highlighting the role of cosmic dust clouds. It explains how infrared technology, particularly through the James Webb Space Telescope, allows astronomers to peer through thick dust to observe star formation. The process of protostar formation is discussed, including the collapse of dense dust knots. The video also covers the development of planetary disks, which may eventually form planets, and emphasizes the need for advanced telescopes to understand these processes better.
