TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed the irregular galaxy NGC 6822, the Milky Way's nearest galactic neighbor that is not a satellite. NGC 6822 has low metallicity, making it an object of interest for understanding the early Universe. The study of this galaxy dates back to its discovery in 1884 and has contributed to our evolving understanding of the Universe. The observations with Webb aim to better understand star formation and the evolution of interstellar dust in low-metallicity environments.
