Two instruments aboard the Webb observatory have combined to create a jaw-dropping image revealing the structure of NGC 5134, the spiral galaxy 65 million light‑years away.
“NGC 5134 is fairly close by, as far as galaxies go,” said a statement from NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency.
The relative proximity of the star system allowed two of Webb’s powerful cameras to join forces to pick out fine detail in the galaxy’s tightly wound arms.
Webb’s mid-infrared instrument, a versatile camera/spectrograph, shows warm dust and complex molecules across the galaxy’s clouds, while its near-infrared camera, the primary imaging instrument onboard, highlights the stars and clusters embedded within them.
