The James Webb Space Telescope Has Captured Our Galaxy’s Most Productive Star-Forming Region in Stunning Detail

Why Sagittarius B2 produces so many stars in comparison to the rest of the galactic center has remained an enduring mystery

James Webb Telescope Unveils Hidden Star-Forming Regions in Sagittarius B2

New JWST observations reveal the hidden star-forming activity inside Sagittarius B2, the Milky Way’s largest molecular cloud. By seeing through dense dust, astronomers can study how stars form efficiently in extreme environments. These findings help explain not only Sgr B2 but also broader mechanisms shaping galaxies.
