New images from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have produced a stunning view of the Phantom Galaxy, a 'grand design' spiral galaxy located 32 million light-years away from Earth.
Around 32 million light-years away from Earth, the galaxy lies in the constellation Pisces.
The Webb Telescope captured M74 with its Mid-InfraRed Instrument , with researchers aiming to learn more about the earliest phases of star formation in the local universe. This image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope shows the heart of M74, otherwise known as the Phantom Galaxy. The $10 billion-dollar observatory's scientific observations at longer wavelengths will allow astronomers to pinpoint star-forming regions in the galaxies, measure the masses and ages of star clusters and gain insights into the small grains of dust in interstellar space.
The Hubble Space Telescope's observations of the Phantom Galaxy have revealed bright areas of star formation called HII regions.NASA shared additional images from the $10 billion telescope’s initial outward gazes, including two images of nebulas where stars are born and die in spectacular beauty and another shot showing an update of a classic image of five tightly clustered galaxies that dance around each other.
