Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to take astonishingly detailed images of spiral galaxies, revealing how and where they spark star formation
Hopkins research scientist David Thilker explains how studying this treasure trove of images can help shed light on the star formation process
Reminiscent of the Eye of Sauron and psychedelic whirlpools, the new images reveal never-before-seen details of galaxies.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured incredibly detailed and beautiful photos of 19 nearby spiral galaxies.
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 (JWST) was launched in 2021 and began collecting data in 2022, reshaping the understanding of the early universe while taking wondrous pictures of the cosmos. The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990 and still operational, has examined it primarily at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths.
