Webb Photographs a 'Turbulent Cauldron of Star Formation'

The James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) newest Picture of the Month shows what the European Space Agency (ESA) describes as a "turbulent cauldron of star formation." The star-forming region named LHA 120-N 159, also known as N159, is located 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).

Webb reveals thousands of young stars forming in a nearby galaxy

A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals a vast nursery where thousands of stars are forming inside clouds of gas and dust in a neighboring galaxy. The scene shows a region called N159 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, about 161,000 light-years from Earth. Its bright clouds, dark ridges and glowing cavities offer […]
