NASA’s Webb Depicts Staggering Structure in 19 Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Jan 29, 2024 · 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.
NASA's Webb Depicts Staggering Structure in 19 Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Jan 29, 2024 · Evidence shows that galaxies grow from inside out – star formation begins at galaxies’ cores and spreads along their arms, spiraling away from the center. The farther a star is from the galaxy’s core, the more likely it is to be younger.
