Powerful jets and radiation winds from two protostars are slamming into the nebulosity around them, sculpting the nebula.

LBN 483 is a prime example of this process. The bipolar outflows from the two forming stars have carved the nebula into its distinctive hourglass or butterfly-like shape. The nebula’s bright ...

M57, also known as the Ring Nebula, is a planetary nebula—the glowing remnant of a sun-like star. At its center lies a tiny white dot, the star’s hot core, known as a white dwarf.

Located 650 light-years from Earth (1 light-year is the distance light travels in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers), this nebula resembles an hourglass. The two protostars at the ...

A stunning cosmic hourglass has formed from a double-star system’s birth. The James Webb Space Telescope captured this breathtaking sight in vivid detail. Called Lynds 483, this nebula is 650 ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has probed deep into the dusty shroud of a young nebula alight with star formation on the hunt for "failed star" brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs are stellar ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented details of LBN 483, a nebula located 650 light-years away. The striking hourglass-shaped structure results from outflows driven by a ...

has formed a cosmic hourglass — and the James Webb Space Telescope imaged the scene in splendiferous detail. How does the birth of stars form a nebula like this? Well, stars grow by accreting ...
