Astronomers pointed the powerful James Webb Space Telescope at a distant zone dubbed the "Extreme Outer Galaxy," and zoomed in on dense cosmic clouds containing clusters of stars. In unprecedented resolution of this region, they spotted vibrant star formation, and potent jets of material ejecting from these hot objects.

Astronomers have directed NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to examine the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy. Scientists call this region the Extreme Outer Galaxy due to its location more than 58,000 light-years away from the Galactic Center.

Astronomers have examined the Extreme Outer Galaxy, also known as the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy, using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. Located over 58,000 light-years from the galactic center, this region is a firecracker show of star formation.

A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope depicts the "extreme outer galaxy" in unprecedented detail, NASA researchers say.

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken things to the extreme, studying the outer edge of our own galaxy, the Milky Way and producing a stunning new image.
