L1448

L1448 is a region in space within the Perseus molecular cloud, roughly 850 light-years away from Earth. It’s an area where new stars are forming inside dense clouds of gas and dust. Scientists study L1448 to understand the early stages of star development, observing the movement of gas and dust that eventually coalesce into stars and planets. This region often features energetic phenomena like jets of material ejected from young stars, providing insights into how stars grow and influence their surrounding environment.
