NASA's Webb telescope captured NGC 346, a star-forming region in a galaxy not so far far away from our Milky Way. The cluster's conditions are similar to "cosmic noon," the era of rapid star formation when galaxies were forming after the Big Bang. 📸: NASA, ESA, CSA, O. Jones (UK ATC), G. De Marchi (ESTEC), and M. Meixner (USRA). Image processing: A. Pagan (STScI), N. Habel (USRA), L. Lenkic (USRA) and L. Chu (NASA/Ames)
