French Guiana, Jan 24: The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a massive region in space with new suns being born in a massive cluster.
The star-forming complex known as N79, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
This nebula, a vast region of ionized interstellar atomic hydrogen, is pictured through Webb's Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI), revealing a cosmic landscape that spans approximately 1,630 light-years.
Astronomers are keenly interested in regions like N79 because their chemical makeup mirrors that of the colossal star-forming areas observed during the universe's nascent years when star formation was at its zenith.
