NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured this dazzling image of starburst galaxy NGC 4449, located 12.5 million light-years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It’s similar in nature to the Milky Way’s satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), but just not as bright or large.
Starbursts are typically intense periods of star formation concentrated at a galaxy’s core, but NGC 4449’s activity can be observed as much more widespread, possibly due to past interactions with its galactic neighbors. We can clearly see. the pinkish glow of atomic hydrogen gas, the telltale tracer of massive star forming regions.

Astronomers can study this galaxy to look into the past: NGC 4449 is similar to early star-forming galaxies, which also grew by merging with other systems,” said Monika Luabeya, NASA Web Editor.
