Overview

• The James Webb Space Telescope examined the Extreme Outer Galaxy, located over 58,000 light-years from the Milky Way's center.
• Using its NIRCam and MIRI instruments, Webb captured detailed images of star-forming regions within Digel Clouds 1 and 2.
• The data revealed young protostars, outflows, jets, and nebular structures in clusters 1A, 1B, 2N, and 2S.
• In Digel Cloud 2S, Webb confirmed the presence of a sub-cluster and observed multiple jets of material shooting out from young stars.
• These observations allow scientists to study star formation in the outer Milky Way with the same depth as regions closer to Earth.
