For its third birthday, Webb turned its powerful gaze on the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), an enormous stellar nursery about 4,000 light-years away. The close-up targets a single "toe bean" and, inside it, tiny knots of gas and dust that cradle newborn stars. Together, they paint a vivid scene of creation in action, proving once again how Webb keeps pushing the frontier of discovery.
