Younger stars are forming in the northwest lobe, whereas the southeast lobe houses more evolved stars that formed as many as 10 billion years ago.
These filaments represent bubbles of gas that have been heated by stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation unleashed by hot, young stars, according to a statement from the European Space Agency. "Webb's new data suggest that the dominant bursts of star formation in these regions occurred at different times," ESA officials said in the statement. "Such conditions are thought to be similar to those in some of the first star-forming galaxies at high redshift, so the Webb study of I Zw 18 should shed light on the life-cycle of stars and dust in the early universe."
