The new image will be compared to an older one captured by Hubble to help scientists learn more about the structure and composition of spiral galaxies
A new photo taken by the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the hidden gaseous"bone" structure of a distant galaxy — and it's absolutely spectacular.
This isn't the first time IC 5332 has had its photo snapped. The 66,000 light-year-wide galaxy — roughly two-thirds the size of our Milky Way — was also imaged in the past by the Hubble Space Telescope. But Hubble can’t see in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas the James Webb Space Telescope can. As a result, the updated image contains so many previously obscured details that it looks almost completely different.
About 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope, the $10 billion space observatory was launched to a gravitationally stable location 1 million miles from Earth — known as a Lagrange point — in December 2021.
