[Image Description: A close-in image of a protoplanetary disc around a newly formed star. Many different wavelengths of light are combined and represented by separate and various colours. A dark line across the centre is the disc, corresponding to the densest parts of the disc, made of opaque dust: the star is hidden in here and creates a strong glow in the centre. A band going straight up is a jet, while other outflows above and below the disc, and a tail coming off to one side.]

This image goes hard as fuck. May as well be an album cover for an electronic music artist. Or an old Star Trek film.

My exact thought, this is a perfect album cover, so cool!

Linked in the above article you can also find an annotated image here of the structures visible and also an image of separate wavelength bands from ALMA, JWST and Hubble here
