As they shared the post, in the caption, the space agency informed us, "There are two servings in this discovery. This image shows the region near protostar IRAS 23385. Protostar IRAS 2A may be similar to the early stages of our own solar system. Chemicals identified around this protostar may also have been in the first stages of development of our solar system and later delivered to the primitive Earth."

While describing the image, NASA wrote, "Image of a molecular cloud region. The orange cloud is dense and bright near the top and grows darker and wispier toward the bottom. One bright star with short diffraction spikes and several dimmer stars are visible." (Also Read: NASA Hubble Telescope captures dazzling collection of stars, netizens stunned by universe's beauty)

Take a look at the post here:

An individual wrote, "Then we can consider another exoplanet on the way? Or maybe planets that would eventually lead to develop life due to the presence of these chemicals?"

A second shared, "That looks like a snowflake only with gas."

"Gobsmacked again by the universe!" posted a third.

A fourth added, "What are those shapes? I've never seen shapes like that in space photos."

"Am I the only one that thinks the brightest dot (the star probably) looks like a pretty snowflake," said a fifth.
