Star formation is the process by which dense regions within molecular clouds collapse under their own gravity to form stars. This process involves the accumulation of gas and dust, leading to the birth of new stars and often resulting in the formation of star clusters.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, space-based observatory designed to observe the universe in infrared wavelengths. It aims to study the formation of stars and galaxies, the atmospheres of exoplanets, and the early universe, providing insights into cosmic evolution.
