The galaxy is one of the earliest active star-forming galaxies studied in detail by astronomers.
. In these regions, galaxies will eventually group together to form a massive collection called a galactic cluster.
Star-forming galaxies are surrounded by dense clouds of dust and gas that collapse in over-dense patches to form stars; these also make them difficult to investigate. This is because these clouds are adept at absorbing visible light, but infrared light has a much easier time slipping through this star-forming matter. That means the JWST, which was designed to, is ideal for peering beyond these dusty veils to see deep into these galaxies.
