NASA \/ ESA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope<\/a> recently captured a wreath-like star formation 220 million light-years from Earth in the Pegasus constellation, called NGC 7469. This face-on spiral galaxy boasts an active galactic nucleus (AGN), which is an extremely bright central region dominated by the light emitted by dust and gas as it falls into the galaxy\u2019s central black hole.<\/p>\n


\"James
NGC 7469 allows astronomers to study the relationship between AGNs and starburst activity since it hosts an active galactic nucleus that is surrounded by a starburst ring at a distance of a just 1500 light-years. Its compact nature combined with the presence of a great deal of dust have made it tough for scientists to achieve both the resolution and sensitivity needed to study this relationship in the infrared. Thanks to Webb, they\u2019re now able to explore the galaxy\u2019s starburst ring, the central AGN, as well as the gas and dust in between.<\/p>\n
