An image from the James Webb Telescope showing the spiral shape of the Phantom Galaxy.
A modern space telescope showed "fine filaments of gas and dust in the luminous spiral arms" that extend by the galaxy "M. 74".
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new details of a galaxy known as "Phantom" that appears to be spirally shaped in stunning images published by the European and American Space Agency.
Since its launch into space in late 2021 and its practical entry into service last July, James Webb has provided a wealth of unprecedented data to scientists, through images of Jupiter and a number of nebulae and other distant galaxies.
The new image, which was published on Monday, allows to see the details of the galaxy "M. 74" called "Phantom", in which a vortex with a blue circle appears. The details of this image provided the MIRI instrument that studies mid-infrared radiation, the fruit of a European-American collaboration.
The European Space Agency noted on its website that James Webb showed "fine filaments of gas and dust in the luminous spiral arms extending from the center of this image." The agency recalled that the famous Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched in 1990 and is still in service, had previously observed this galaxy. But the mane is less.
The James Webb Telescope, which cost ten billion dollars, is located about 1.5 million kilometers from the planet.
Last week, researchers announced that it had detected for the first time the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of an exoplanet, a planet outside the solar system that includes Earth.
