The James Webb Space Telescope has released a stunning new image revealing a massive star forming region of the Milky Way galaxy known as N79.
Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Per the European Space Agency (ESA), N79 is a massive star-forming complex spanning approximately 1,630 light-years in the LMC, a generally unexplored region.
N79 is a younger version of 30 Doradus, another similar region also known as the Tarantula Nebula. Astronomers believe N79 can form stars far more efficiently than 30 Doradus, by a factor of two for the past 500,000 years.
