NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured remarkable high-resolution near-infrared images of Lynds 483, a star-forming region 650 light-years away in the Serpens constellation. The images show two actively forming stars creating shimmering ejections of gas and dust that appear in orange, blue, and purple. What Webb Discovered The images reveal periodic ejections of gas and dust from the central protostars occurring over tens of thousands of years. These materials shoot out as tight, fast jets and slightly slower outflows. When newer ejections collide with older ones, the materials crumple and twirl based on their densities. Chemical reactions within … Continue reading JWST Unveils Protostars’ Ejections in Lynds 483, 650 Light-Years Away
