Like its mythological namesake, the Phoenix Cluster burns with blisteringly hot gas, which cools to birth stars. The James Webb Space Telescope has now learned how this galaxy cluster does it.

One of the many amazing things about the NASA program is its ability to capture images from far off galaxies that none of us would ever be able to see otherwise. NASA is able to get some of these incredible shots by using the James Webb Space Telescope, which orbits Earth and snaps photos using near-infrared technology.
