Throughout cosmic history, star formation has significantly shaped our universe, with it being 30-50 times more vigorous 6 billion years ago. Currently, small star-forming regions dominate, in contrast to the large super star clusters of the past. A new super star cluster, H72.97-69.39, discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is the youngest, with over 1500 identified protostars and rapid star formation activity. Observations from JWST and ALMA emphasize its vibrant stellar birth and extraordinary brightness, offering new insights into our understanding of stellar evolution.
All throughout cosmic history, star-formation has illuminated the darkness of deep space.
The most massive protostars are found within the cluster's greatest active star-formation site.
