Near the violent heart of our own galaxy, where a supermassive black hole bends the fabric of space, a region called Sagittarius B2 has long defied explanation — producing half of the galactic center's newborn stars while holding only a tenth of its available gas. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope has turned its instruments toward this paradox, piercing the dense cosmic dust that hid entire stellar nurseries from human sight. What emerges is not merely a set of images but a reckoning with how little we have understood about the origins of stars — and, by extension, the origins of worlds like
