Baby star factory: NASA's James Webb Telescope gives a peek into a mysterious cloud of dust exploding from Milky Way dust

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the Milky Way's center. This region, despite holding only 10% of the galactic center's gas, is responsible for birthing half of its stars, challenging existing astrophysical theories. Webb's observations reveal active star nurseries and provide new insights into galactic evolution.
