The James Webb Space Telescope reveals turbulent environments found in Sagittarius C, a core part of our Milky Way galaxy.

We've known for over 30 years that there are other stellar systems in our galaxy, but we don't have any idea how many there are.

Estimates now suggest that our Milky Way alone may host tens of billions — or even trillions — of these lonely wanderers. The universe, then, is not only a realm of stellar families but also a vast ...

Sagittarius C is one of the most extreme environments in the Milky Way galaxy. This cloudy region ... The closest such stellar nursery to Earth lies in the Orion Nebula, just below Orion's belt.

Using NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have taken the closest and clearest look yet at one of the most extreme places in our galaxy—a star-forming region called Sagittarius C.

Orion is to the left. For a brightness comparison, the faint winter Milky Way runs along the top.

In winter, the Milky Way stretches across the southern sky revealing an ancient indigenous constellation called the Emu in the Sky and Scorpius the scorpion. The summer sky is dominated by Orion ...
