Starbursts are intense periods of star formation usually concentrated at a galaxy\u2019s core, but NGC 4449\u2019s activity is much more widespread \u2014 likely due to past interactions with its galactic neighbors. Astronomers can study this galaxy to look into the past: NGC 4449 is similar to early star-forming galaxies, which also grew by merging with other systems.<\/p>\n<p>See more Webb images from this year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credit: ESA\/Webb, NASA &amp; CSA, A.
