Scientists used NASA鈥檚 James Webb Space Telescope to examine select star-forming areas in the Extreme Outer Galaxy of the Milky Way in near- and mid-infrared light. Within this star-forming region, known as Digel Cloud 2S, the telescope observed young, newly formed cluster of stars and their extended jets of material. This Webb image also shows a dense sea of background galaxies and red nebulous structures within the region. In this image, colors were assigned to different filters from Webb鈥檚 MIRI and NIRCam: red (F1280W, F770W, F444W), green (F356W, F200W), and blue (F150W; F115W).

Annotated image of Digel Cloud 2S captured by Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), with compass arrows, a scale bar, color key, and graphic overlays for reference. In the main cluster are five white arrows, which highlight the paths of five protostar jets.
