This image provided by NASA shows a rare, infrared view of a developing star and its flaring jets taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope showing us what our own solar system might have looked like billions of years ago. In visible light, this star and its surrounding regions are completely hidden in darkness. The image shows a developing sun-like star, called L1157, that is only thousands of years old (for comparison, our solar system is around 4.5 billion years old).
