The object is either a low-mass star or an object known as a brown dwarf, and it is hurtling through space at a million ... some of the fastest — stars in our galaxy, known as halo stars.

This unprecedented detail highlights the dynamic process and provides new data on the formation and evolution of stars at the outer edges of our galaxy. Since its launch, the James Webb Space ...

The stunning image that Webb produced shows newly formed stars in the outer galaxy emitting jets of material in all directions, set against a backdrop of a sea of galaxies and red clouds of gas.

But it’s still extraordinary that Hubble saw Leo A, because this galaxy is small and dim. This “speckling of stars,” the European Space Agency wrote in 2016, forms a single entity.
