To mark Independence Day, NASA has released a James Webb Space Telescope image showing the frenzied eruption of a young star in vibrant red, white and blue.

Similar in shape to an hourglass or a butterfly's wings, the image shows a 100,000-year-old baby star roaring to life inside a gas cloud. Rotating in place, the star is consuming material around its sides while expelling it in vast jets from either pole.
