   Explanation: Two protostars are hidden in a single pixel near the
   center of a striking hourglass-shaped nebula in this near-infrared
   image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The actively forming star
   system lies in a dusty molecular cloud cataloged as Lynds 483, some 650
   light-years distant toward the constellation Serpens Cauda. Responsible
   for the stunning bipolar outflows, the collapsing protostars have been
   blasting out collimated energetic jets of material over tens of
   thousands of years. Webb's high-resolution view shows the violence of
   star-formation in dramatic detail as twisting shock fronts expand and
   collide with slower, denser material. The premier close-up of the
   star-forming region spans less than 1/2 a light-year within dark nebula
   Lynds 483.
