      Explanation: High-speed outflows of molecular gas from a pair of   
      actively forming young stars shine in infrared light, revealing   
      themselves in this NIRcam image from the James Webb Space Telescope.   
      Cataloged as HH (Herbig-Haro) 46/47, the young stars are lodged within   
      a dark nebula that is largely opaque when viewed in visible light. The   
      pair lie at the center of the prominent reddish diffraction spikes in   
      the NIRcam image. Their energetic stellar jets extend for nearly a   
      light-year, burrowing into the dark interstellar material. A   
      tantalizing object to explore with Webb's infrared capabilities, this   
      young star system is relatively nearby, located only some 1,140   
      light-years distant in the nautical constellation Vela.
