The Leo P dwarf galaxy is 5.3 million light-years away in the constellation Leo .

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed that Leo P is unexpectedly forming new stars.

That's a big surprise to astronomers because small, isolated galaxies like Leo P were thought to have stopped forming stars when the universe was about a billion years old.
