NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured breathtaking new imagery of Lynds 483, a star-forming region located 650 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Serpens. At the heart of L483, two protostars are actively forming, emitting shimmering ejections of gas and dust. According to astronomers, a protostar looks like a star but has not developed enough for fusion to take place.

A series of brush fires broke out on Long Island Saturday, fueled by low humidity and gusty winds, sending smoke visible from Connecticut and the tri-state area. While the exact cause remains unclear, authorities quickly mobilized resources to protect structures, and no significant air quality issues were reported as the smoke was carried offshore by northwesterly winds.
