While stellar surveys continue to expand in volume, our view of the Milky Way remains severely obscured, with the vast majority of stars we can study concentrated around the sun. This discrepancy ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a baby, Milky Way-like galaxy that formed more than 13 billion years ago. This "Firefly Sparkle" galaxy could reveal how our own galaxy evolved.
