The James Webb Telescope has captured a mind-blowing image of I Zwicky 18
In a new image released on March 26, 2024, The James Webb Telescope has captured a mind-blowing image of I Zwicky 18, a dwarf irregular galaxy like those in the early universe! This galactic furnace is churning out stars at a furious pace, with dusty bubbles sculpted by young stellar winds. A neighbor galaxy might even be playing a role in this starburst frenzy! Webb is diving deep into I Zw 18's dust and stars to unlock its history and the secrets of galaxy formation. ✨ Previously thought to be a late bloomer, new evidence suggests I Zw 18 started forming stars billions of years ago. Webb also hints that the starburst regions fired up at different times! This discovery is a game-changer, offering a glimpse into the workings of galaxies in the early cosmos. Stay tuned as Webb continues to unravel the mysteries of I Zwicky 18 and beyond! #JWSTdiscovers #galaxyevolution #spaceexploration
