      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.
