"Stunning Image: James Webb Telescope Captures Sparkling Stars in Zwicky 18"

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the dwarf irregular galaxy I Zwicky 18, located 59 million light-years from Earth, revealing distinct bright regions of white and blue stars at its core representing different periods of star formation. The image also shows wispy brown filaments surrounding the central starburst region, indicating bubbles of gas heated by stellar winds and ultraviolet radiation. This galaxy's low content of heavy elements makes it similar to early star-forming galaxies, providing valuable insights into the life cycle of stars and dust in the early universe.
