WASHINGTON: A batch, newly released images captured by James Webb Space Telescope shows in remarkable detail 19 spiral galaxies residing relatively near our Milky Way, offering new clues on star formation as galactic structure evolution.
Images were made public on Monday (Jan 29) by a team of scientists involved in a project called Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) that operates across several major astronomical observatories. Closest of 19 galaxies is called NGC5068, about 15 mil light-years from Earth, most distant of them NGC1365, about 60 mil light-years from Earth.
A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 9.5 trillion km. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST):Are launched in 2021 began collecting data in 2022.
