The image from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) combines infrared light at wavelengths of 0.9 microns (represented in blue), 1.5 microns (green), and 2.77 microns (red). The stars in Leo P appear blue in comparison to the background galaxies for several reasons. Young, massive stars that are common in star-forming galaxies are predominantly blue. Leo P also is extremely lacking in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, and the resulting “metal-poor” stars tend to be bluer than Sun-like stars. A bubble-like structure at bottom center is a region of ionized hydrogen surrounding a hot, massive O-type star.

Leo P.
This is a star-forming dwarf galaxy, located about 5 million light years away from us (blue stars on the bottom-right side of the image).

The advertising/marketing for Gladiator II is pretty good. Like, I wasn't planning on seeing it in theaters because I just don't go to the theatre very often, but I'm slowly being pretty convinced to do just that. Just by the sheer number of ads (and also all those ads having Pedro Pascal in them).
