      The Webb telescope sun shield is unfolding.

Good news on Webb.

Maybe we can learn a little more about the universe before we wipe out what poses as intelligent life on Earth.

The system comprises a young star, about 1 million years old, surrounded by a dense disk of gas & dust from which planets may be being built.

Seen edge-on from our perspective, the dust in the disk blocks light coming from the bright background nebula, making a silhouette.
