The James Webb Space Telescope has peered into one of the Milky Way’s closes dwarf galaxies, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Around 200,000 light years away, the SMC contains a star-forming region known as NGC 346. Researchers are using Webb’s view of NGC 346 to lear how the star-formation process in the SMC works and if this is different from the way stars form in the Milky Way.
