Dark bands of <strong>dust lanes<\/strong> obscure much of the galaxy\u2019s glow, while bright regions of active <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailygalaxy.com\/2024\/09\/nasa-webb-telescope-reveals-outer-galaxy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">star formation<\/a><\/strong> pierce through the veil.
