The James Webb Space Telescope released a batch of new images which show in remarkable detail 19 spiral galaxies that reside relatively close to our Milky Way. These photos offer new insights into star formation as well as galactic structure and evolution.

Face-on spiral galaxy, NGC 628, is split diagonally in this image: The James Webb Space Telescope’s observations appear at top left, and the Hubble Space Telescope’s on bottom right. JWST’s observations combine near- and mid-infrared light and Hubble’s showcase visible light. Dust absorbs ultraviolet and visible light, and then re-emits it in the infrared. In JWST’s images, we see dust glowing in infrared light. In Hubble’s images, dark regions are where starlight is absorbed by dust...

A stunning new set of images from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the variety of forms that exist within spiral galaxies like our Milky Way

The new images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope are "mind-blowing even for researchers who have studied these same galaxies for decades," one scientist said.

Webb observed 19 nearby face-on spiral galaxies as part of of the PHANGS program.

WASHINGTON D.C. — NASAs James Webb Space Telescope captured new images on Monday showing a "treasure trove" of 19 spiral galaxies near the Milky Way.

New James Webb telescope images reveal 19 Milky Way-like spiral galaxies in more intricate detail than has ever been seen before.

WASHINGTON D.C. — NASAs James Webb Space Telescope captured new images on Monday showing a "treasure trove" of 19 spiral galaxies near the Milky Way.

The images were made public on Monday by a team of scientists involved in a project called Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) that operates across several major astronomical observatories.

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed the glowing gas and dust patterns of 19 spiral galaxies in stunning detail, aiming to uncover the origins of these intricate structures.
