NASA's Webb Telescope has made a groundbreaking discovery of margarita and vinegar-like chemicals on a protostar, which was shared on Instagram. These findings were found in two young stars that are devoid of planets. The Instagram post read, "There are two servings in this discovery.

This image shows the region near protostar IRAS 23385, with protostar IRAS 2A possibly resembling the early stages of our solar system. The chemicals identified around this protostar may have been present in the initial stages of our solar system's development and later transported to primitive Earth." The post showcased a beautiful image of a molecular cloud region where the orange cloud appeared dense and bright near the top, gradually becoming darker and wispier towards the bottom.

The image also displayed one bright star with short diffraction spikes and several dimmer stars. After being shared on April 14, the post garnered over 300,000 likes and numerous comments from users expressing their awe and curiosity. Some speculated about the potential discovery of exoplanets or life-sustaining planets due to the presence of these chemicals, while others marveled at the snowflake-like patterns visible in the image.

In a related note, NASA's Europa Clipper mission aims to explore Jupiter's moon, Europa, to determine if there are habitable environments beneath its icy surface. The mission focuses on studying the ice shell, subsurface ocean, composition, and geological features of Europa to unveil its mysteries and potential for sustaining life.
