Young stars are born inside clouds, but Webb just found the giants escape faster than expected: The assumption seemed reasonable: smaller objects should break free faster. For massive star clusters buried inside their birth clouds of gas, you’d expect the heaviest ones to need more firepower, more time, more everything to push through. That expectation shaped years of simulations. Then Webb pointed at four nearby galaxies and counted nearly 9,000 young #EarthDotCom #EarthSnap #Earth
