NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope captured a photo of the Leo P dwarf galaxy in February 2025 .

The image was made possible using the telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), which relied on a combination of different color wavelengths to achieve the beautiful shot that appears full of a range of bold shades.

The galaxy stopped producing new stars when the universe was estimated to be around a billion years old, in an era known as the Epoch of Reionization .
