#NASAWebb researchers found iron-rich dust and complex carbon molecules in Sextans A, a nearby galaxy with similar properties to those in the early universe. Why the finding is surprising: https://news.stsci.edu/4st0ccz #AAS247 🔭
A region of space is filled with stars and clumps of glowing orange and tan dust. A small portion of the sky at the center of the image is outlined with a white box. Lines extend from the corner of the box to the inset panel at the top right showing a magnified version of the outlined portion of the image. In the inset, there are smatterings of dim whitish-blueish stars and about seven glowing red orbs across the center in a line. Also across the center of the inset is a green glow. The background of the image is filled with stars and galaxies of various shapes and colors.
