New findings from NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope reveal the presence of a much more intricate network of gas and dust structures than previously discovered in the Small Magellanic Cloud .

Young stars generate energy that heats the gas, energizing and splitting the molecular hydrogen.

This effectively carves rough ridges into the gas.

Winds from nearby stars are blowing away material that surrounds, still forming stars, leaving these small structures behind.

Eventually, over millions of years , the mixture of energized and dense hydrogen will give way to thousands of stars and far more of these filamentary structures.
