This almost doesn’t look real. The universe is amazing. Both the infinitely large and the infinitesimally small. Does it go on forever, Larger and larger, smaller and smaller?

I remember 20 years ago or even longer, I was impressed by these taken by Hubble.
This is another league!
That looks absurdly enhanced. More than usual. Is it?

So these dust formations like this across the universe are “star forming” areas. Which means they’ll form a star, presumably with its own planets. So these star forming regions are very large bc presumably many solar systems will form within them and solar systems are often very far apart?
Did I get that right?

It’s actually a combination of JWST infrared data and Chandra’s x-ray data. Here, you can find the seperate data used in this picture:[Chandra, Webb combination](https://chandra.si.edu/photo/2023/chandrawebb2/more.html)
