Explore the universe with JWST's stunning images of 19 spiral galaxies. These star clusters and gas filaments offer new insights into galaxy evolution and star formation.The James Webb Space Telescope has captured 19 nearby spiral galaxies in a different light. The images revealed intricate details of each galaxy’s spiral arms, pockets of star clusters, and lacy, carved-out filaments of gas in the interstellar material.
IC 5332 is a spiral galaxy located 30 million light years away from Earth. It resides in the constellation Sculptor and is in a 'face-on' position where the galaxy's disk faces our planet. With a diameter of 66,000 light years, the galaxy is a third smaller than our spiral galaxy, the Milky Way.NGC 1087 , Thomas Williams , Rupali Chandar , PHANGS Team)
