NASA’s Webb Telescope Captures Stunning Details of Star Formation in L483. Lynds 483, or L483, is a star-forming region filled with swirling clouds of gas and dust. At its heart, two young protostars are hidden within a dense disk of material. As they form, they eject bursts of gas that light up in shades of orange, blue, and purple. These ejections, moving at different speeds, collide with older ones, creating twisting patterns. The full extent of L483 is too large to fit in a single Webb image, so only part of the region is visible. The images will help scientists refine models of star formation, understanding how young stars shape their environments. Each discovery adds another piece to the puzzle of how stars and planetary systems come to life, says NASA. The image was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, which is 650 light-years away in the constellation Serpens. It was captured in near-infrared light by the Webb telescope.
