## Caption

Hubble, Webb, and the constellation Taurus 🐂

The first image features a view into IRAS 04302+2247, a planet-forming disc located about 525 light-years away in a dark cloud 🌫️ within the Taurus star-forming region. This disc is 65 billion kilometres across – several times the diameter of our Solar System! The image combines data from the #NIRCam and #MIRI on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope with optical data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

The second image, which uses data just from Hubble, features IRAS 05506+2414, which is over 9000 light-years away. This mysterious object is thought to be an example of an explosive event caused by the disruption of a massive young star system.
