The Webb telescope has captured its first 'bulge fossil fragment'
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a 'bulge fossil fragment' in the Milky Way, a celestial body named Terzan 5. This discovery challenges previous classifications of Terzan 5 as a globular star cluster, revealing it has undergone at least four distinct phases of star formation over billions of years. The findings suggest that Terzan 5 represents a primordial clump that contributed to the Milky Way's bulge formation, offering new insights into galactic evolution. AI
