The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through cosmic dust to reveal new details and a stunning image of a rare type of galaxy.

Astronomers have gleaned new insights about individual stars and star formation within the chaotic galaxy, as well as the black hole at the galactic center, as a result of Webb's capabilities.People are also reading… Among the hot dust in the bright inner ring, giant young clusters of stars are forming, the image shows.
