The NASA has achieved, using his telescope James Webbcapture images of 19 spiral galaxies nearby and its structure. This is essential for scientists to study, investigate and better understand these space formations.

This lens gives the amazing possibility of observing the details of celestial bodies far from Earth. His main attribute is to be able to be used to visualize in the universeusing different wavelengths of infrared light.

Using near- and mid-infrared, it can capture images showing the gas, stars, and dust of each of the complex galaxies.

The recent photographs were captured by more than a hundred astronomers from different countries who participated in the PHANGS (Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS) program.

According to astronomers, Spiral galaxies make up about 60% of all known galaxies. Specifically, our solar system exists within one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way. Thanks to observations from the Webb telescope, researchers hope to better understand the star formation and cosmic evolution of spiral galaxies like ours.

Tremors were detected on the Moon that could affect the NASA Artemis mission

In the screenshots that were recently created we can see that each galaxy has spiral arms that are loaded with stars. And, as if it were a centrifugal figure, we can see that old stars or supermassive black holes accumulate in the middle of the image.
