I just met a little girl on the train and we were chit chatting until I said I am a scientist.
Her eyes lit up and she said she wants to be a scientist too when she grows up ๐คฉ
Even though this story sounds too good to be true it did actually happen!!!

ALT A JWST image of the central region of the Chamaeleon I dark molecular cloud, which resides 630 light-years away. This image primarily shows blue smoky wisps on a dark background. The left top side additionally features orange and white wisps. Just below them are four bright points of light. Three are orange and one is a mix of white and orange. Each of these points have JWSTโs signature 8-point diffraction spikes emanating around them in long, thick orange lines, so that they look like huge snowflakes. Scattered throughout the image are distant stars or galaxies in shades of red, orange and blue, seen as tiny blobs.
