A younger, still-forming star that produces complicated carbon molecules like ethanol and acetaldehyde has been glimpsed by the James Webb House Telescope (JWST). The compounds it's making might be the constructing blocks of future planets.

Such younger stars, referred to as protostars, consist of enormous volumes of fuel, or fuel and ice, that slowly coalesce into stars beneath the pull of gravity. Advanced carbon molecules, which may act as constructing blocks for all times, have been noticed in some protostar fuel clouds …
