New JWST focused study challenges cosmic understanding of the early universe

By analysing data from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have uncovered a revelation that could reshape our understanding of the early universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope observed 19 nearby face-on spiral galaxies in near- and mid-infrared light as part of its contributions to the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program. PHANGS also includes images and data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the Very Large Telescope’s Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer, and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, which included observations taken in ultraviolet, visible, and radio light. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Janice Lee (STScI), Thomas Williams (Oxford), PHANGS Team, Elizabeth Wheatley (STScI)

JWST reveals 19 nearby spiral galaxies in stunning clarity

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unleashed fascinating images, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the heart of nearby spiral galaxies.
