Feel like you’re spiraling? You’re in good company! 🌀 The Webb telescope’s images of NGC 1433, NGC 7496 & NGC 1365 (this image) reveal the galaxies' networks of gas and dust in extraordinary detail. This data is part of an ongoing Webb survey of 19 spiral galaxies. Webb’s high-resolution infrared data fills in missing puzzle pieces, complementing the science from telescopes in other wavelengths. By aligning all of these data sets, the team will be able to accelerate new discoveries. Learn more and see all the images: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/nasa-s-webb-reveals-int...

This image: This mid-infrared image of NGC 1365 was captured by Webb's MIRI. Image description: Close-up of a wispy spiral galaxy on a black background. It features a glowing, light pink core in an elongated oval shape. Red streaks appear to emanate out of the core. The lower right portion of the galaxy’s arms extend out of frame. Throughout the image, a smattering of tiny red dots represent background galaxies. |
