A slow, swirling zoom-in, first on a cluster of blue dots in a field of glittering stars. Then the scene changes to glowing blue-white dots amidst dusty brown regions. Video continues to zoom on one particular area within the dust, which gradually takes on the shape of a pale inverted triangle. Finally, the region becomes Webb's image of Rho Ophiuchi. Red dual opposing jets coming from young stars fill the darker, purple top half of the image. At bottom center is a glowing pale yellow, cave-like structure, its top tilted toward two o’clock, with a bright star at its center.
