Webb Captures Turbulent Star-Forming Region N159 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

NASA released a new Webb telescope image on October 22, 2026, showing a turbulent star-forming area. The region, called N159, is filled with dense clumps of gas where stars are taking shape. It lies about 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The region has lower metallicity, meaning it contains fewer elements heavier than hydrogen and helium than many regions in our own galaxy.
