James Webb Space Telescope reveals spectacular images of distant galaxy

The James Webb Space Telescope captured this image of a distant galaxy called NGC 5068.

Located about 17 million light-years from Earth, this image of the galaxy shows the existence of millions of stars.

Each white dot represents a star, and there are thousands of stars in this image alone, many of which can be seen in the center, where most of the galaxy's activity takes place. Part of this galaxy can be seen as a long streak of white light in the upper left. The warm dust created by star formation makes the center of galaxies super bright.

Currently, the James Webb Space Telescope is observing a series of galaxies, helping people better understand how stars are formed. With very strong infrared wavelengths, this telescope has captured images of spiral galaxy IC 5332, galaxy M74, also known as the "Ghost Galaxy"...

Infrared wavelengths are invisible to the human eye, but they are crucial for studying space, allowing the James Webb telescope to see details other telescopes cannot.

“By observing the formation of stars in nearby galaxies, astronomers hope to make major scientific advances with some of the first data available thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope,” said NASA.
