    • Object: Protostar EC 53

    • Region: Serpens Nebula

    • Instrument: JWST NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera)

    • What’s Happening: A young star actively forming inside a dense disk of gas and dust

    • Key Discovery: Crystalline silicates forming close to the protostar—proof intense heat shapes early planetary material

    • Why It’s Wild: These same crystals later appear in comets billions of miles away

    • Scale Comparison: Crystal formation occurs roughly between where the Sun and Earth would be in our solar system

    • Why It Matters: Explains how planetary building blocks migrate outward during star formation

    • 🐾 Feline Perspective: “Genesis Engine”? Really? How about my robotic litter box engine? That’s the true wonder of the universe!

    • Approx. 23”W x 18.5”H

    • Large format, vibrant, high-quality print on durable, semi-rigid thermoplastic.
