Exploring the Phantom Galaxy: A Closer Look with Webb

NASA recently shared a fresh image of the Phantom Galaxy, also known as M74 and NGC 628. Unlike previous images, this one was captured using both the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) and Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This combination allowed scientists from the FEAST team to observe star-forming regions more effectively. By ana...

Unveiling the Secrets of Star Formation in the Extreme Outer Galaxy: A New Era in Space Exploration

The James Webb Space Telescope has made a groundbreaking discovery in the Extreme Outer Galaxy, capturing unprecedented images of star formation in the remote outskirts of the Milky Way. This region, located over 58,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, offers scientists a rare glimpse into star-forming environments that resemble the early days of our galaxy. The...
