"James Webb Telescope Captures Starburst Galaxy in Action"
TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope captured an image of the dwarf galaxy NGC 4449, which is producing new stars at an unusually high rate. This starburst galaxy, located 12.5 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici, shows both older stars and regions rich in hydrogen where new stars are forming. The phenomenon is puzzling astronomers, as NGC 4449's star formation is occurring both in its core and in the surrounding streams.
