NASA James Webb telescope has captured Cristal clear images of galaxies that are very far, the images shows spiral arms of galaxies with dark lens.
Webb has published incredibly detailed photos of nineteen spiral galaxies! These observations complement the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) programme, a global astronomy study, by providing fresh near and mid-infrared puzzle pieces.Images shows the centre of galaxies as well.
Millions of glittering stars can be seen when tracing the arms of galaxies in near-infrared light. With Webb’s mid-infrared instrument, new information is revealed. It accentuates the stars that are still forming, covered in gas and dust, as well as the luminous dust that is behind, surrounding, and in between the stars.
This image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope features an H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. This nebula, known as N79, is a region of interstellar atomic hydrogen that is ionised, captured here by Webb’s Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI). N79 is a massive star-forming complex spanning roughly 1630 light-years in the generally unexplored southwest region of the LMC. N79 is typically regarded as a younger version of 30 Doradus (also known as the Tarantula Nebula), another of Webb’s recent targets. Research suggests that N79 has a star formation efficiency exceeding that of 30 Doradus by a factor of two over the past 500 000 years. This particular image centres on one of the three giant molecular cloud complexes, dubbed N79 South (S1 for short). The distinct ‘starburst’ pattern surrounding this bright object is a series of diffraction spikes. All telescopes which use a mirror to collect light, as Webb does, have this form of artifact which arises from the design of the telescope. In Webb’s case, the six largest starburst spikes appear because of the hexagonal symmetry of Webb’s 18 primary mirror segments. Patterns like these are only noticeable around very bright, compact objects, where all the light comes from the same place. Most galaxies, even though they appear very small to our eyes, are darker and more spread out than a single star, and therefore do not show this pattern. At the longer wavelengths of light captured by MIRI, Webb’s view of N79 showcases the region’s glowing gas and dust. This is because mid-infrared light is able to reveal what is happening deeper inside the clouds (while shorter wavelengths of light would be absorbed or scattered by dust grains in the nebula). Some still-embedded protostars also appear in this field. Star-forming regions such as this are of interest to astronomers because their chemical composition is similar to that of the gigantic star-forming regions
