The JWST's unprecedented sensitivity reveals new star formation in the galaxy's outskirts, showcasing features like newborn star clusters and protostellar jets in rich detail.
Observations in both near-infrared and mid-infrared light from JWST unveil vastly different aspects of star formation and stellar evolution, highlighting the dynamic processes at work.
In regions like Digel cloud 1a and 2n, wispy features and bright newborn stars emphasize the complexity and ongoing development of stellar systems in the galaxy's periphery.
Despite fewer resources in the outer galaxy, new generations of stars still form, suggesting that these areas hold potential for future solar systems and rocky planets.
