Feel like you’re spiraling? You’re in good company! Rotate with these galaxies!
The Webb telescope’s images of NGC 1433
NGC 7496
NGC 1365
Those 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.
