James Webb Telescope Reveals Breathtaking Deep Space Imagery

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of Westerlund 1, the largest known star cluster in our galaxy, located in the Southern Hemisphere. This massive cluster, with a mass of 50,000 to 100,000 solar masses, contains stars up to 2,000 times larger and 1 million times brighter than our sun. Using its Near Infrared Camera, JWST can penetrate interstellar dust to reveal intricate details of the cluster, offering insights into the Milky Way's past and future. Westerlund 1 is expected to experience over 1,500 supernovae in the next 40 million years, highlighting its dynamic nature and role in cosmic evolution.
