Space photo of the week: James Webb telescope shocks scientists with image of ancient galaxy roaring back to life

February 16, 2025

The James Webb Space Telescope has zoomed in on Leo P, a tiny galaxy with some big things to say about star formation.

Where it is: 5.3 million light-years away in the constellation Leo

When it was shared: Jan. 16, 2025

Why it's so special: Large galaxies like our own Milky Way come from small "seed" galaxies, which grow, collide and merge over time, with each interaction causing more stars to form as gas and dust mix together.

However, some of the original seed galaxies still exist in the universe, having remained unchanged for billions of years and containing few chemical elements besides hydrogen and helium.
