Telescopes Uncover Complex History of Milky Way Relic Terzan 5

Observations from the James Webb and Hubble telescopes reveal that Terzan 5, a cluster within the Milky Way, is more intricate than previously understood. It contains at least four distinct generations of stars, with the oldest dating back 12.5 billion years. This discovery suggests Terzan 5 may have originated as a larger system, offering new insights into the processes of galaxy formation.
