James Webb Space Telescope's near-infrared image reveals a stunning hourglass-shaped nebula, Lynds 483, 650 light-years away in Serpens Cauda. Two protostars hidden near the center drive powerful bipolar outflows, creating dramatic twisting shock fronts visible in exquisite detail. This close-up showcases the violent beauty of star formation within a region less than half a light-year across.
