Summary

Description

This image of spiral galaxy NGC 1300 combines observations to map stellar populations and gas. Radio light observed by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array is represented in yellow and highlight the clouds of cold molecular gas that provide the raw material from which stars form. Data from the Very Large Telescopeâs Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument are represented in red and magenta, capturing the impact of young, massive stars on their surrounding gas. Visible and ultraviolet light captured by the Hubble Space Telescope highlight dust lanes in gold and very young, hot stars in blue. High-resolution infrared images from the Webb Space Telescope will help researchers identify where stars are forming behind dust and study the earliest stages of star formation in this galaxy.
