Fluffy strands of cosmic gas and dust illuminated by bright young stars form a beautiful cloudscape in a neighboring nebula.

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

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a breathtaking image of Lynds Bright Nebula 483 (LBN 483), a ...

The JWST’s latest images showcase LBN 483, a nebula shaped by dynamic stellar interactions and magnetic fields.

NASA’s Webb Telescope captured twin stars forming in Lynds 483, hidden in a dust cloud. The stars are shaping glowing ...

This Hubble mosaic is the highest resolution image ever made of the entire Crab Nebula, which is located 6,500 light-years away. These opaque, dark knots of gas and dust called "Bok globules" are ...

L483 is named for American astronomer Beverly T. Lynds, who published extensive catalogues of "dark" and "bright" nebulae in the early 1960s. She did this by carefully examining photographic ...

The Wolf-RAY star located at the center of Thor's helmet is expected to explode as a supernova within thousands of years.

Variable stars called Cepheids, discovered at Harvard, told him that the bright nebula called Messier 31 is 680,000 light-years away. Messier 31 was therefore no mere part of the Milky Way galaxy ...

This is what makes the planetary nebula visible. Some are so bright that they can be seen from extremely large distances measuring tens of millions of light years, where the star itself would have ...

The bright orange arc is a shock-front where an ... polarized radio waves coming from the cold dust in the heart of the nebula — dust too cold for even JWST to detect. The polarization of ...
